jamriman Posted September 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think. How many RD-1 fans would like to see a shutter cock lever? With auto overide of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi jamriman, Take a look here One M9 feature I want that nobody mentioned. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2009 Hmm I actually would like that.. but guess that is not going to happne. For me the moment to wind the camera have always been a nice break when doing portraits. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbbeyPhoto Posted September 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2009 That would be cool, an easy solution to the noise problem. Ain't gonna happen though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35mmSummicron Posted September 8, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2009 another good feature not mentioned would be **GOOD** tethered support for studio shooters. .....doesn't look like it will happen though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted September 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2009 Someone should make an accessory winder that just releases the shutter button. So you use discreet mode, and the 'winder' prevents the button from coming back up until you 'wind' it... problem solved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertW Posted September 8, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2009 Not me. I'll wind my M6 (no choice) but prefer not to wind my M8 or future M9. Just lazy I guess. Best Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamriman Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted September 8, 2009 It makes it more like a film camera. Guess I'm getting up their in age. I'm old enough to appreciate the smoothness of those Leica gears although young enough to love digital. I'd sell my M8u in favor of an M9 over my RD-1.

georgio Posted September 8, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 8, 2009 may be that's the reason I did not get an M8. The full frame M9 is a different story of course, but man I have to get used to that design. A screen that could fold back, like the RD-1 would have been great too, never checks my shots while I am out shooting. GEO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgay Posted September 8, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 8, 2009 It is an irony that just when battery life actually became an every day issue (because da sensor simply doesn't work without juice) that manufacturers dropped one key part of the traditional camera that would save significant amounts of juice. It does make you wonder if there isn't some kind of fetish about making every last function electronically controlled. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark I seem to recall someone on the forum measuring the actual power usage of the recock and saying it would be a relatively inconsequential power saving to have a manual mechanism.

It does make you wonder if there isn't some kind of fetish about making every last function electronically controlled. Mark Norton's investigation of current consumption and battery life showed that the shutter-cocking motor only accounts for a small proportion of the M8's total energy consumption.

wlaidlaw Posted September 8, 2009 Share #15 Posted September 8, 2009 Next people will be asking to have the starter motor deleted off their cars and go back to a starting handle. After all it is quieter, does not go wrong and gives you that certain something when you finally succeed in turning the engine over - frequently a broken wrist.

Wilson Still if the battery died and I was stuck, hell I'd appreciate that crank broken wrist (or thumb) and all. If you read the post I said overide of course.

If you read the post I said overide of course. As someone who not infrequently has to crank start various elderly cars e.g. 1904 Panhard et Levassor 15HP, give me an electric starter every time. If it was not so bulky, I would put a motor drive on my M4. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trs Posted September 8, 2009 Share #18 Posted September 8, 2009 With all the complaints we had and work they did to help fix the problem, I would think that would be first thing they put on M9. Just move the current hold the shutter button feature to the dedicated lever. Internally, nothing really changes except there is dedicated lever (and of course overridable). Well, we will see tomorrow, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
