murfman Posted October 20, 2009 Share #121 Posted October 20, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hmm ever hear of the Minllux Zoom or the CM Zoom. Have a little patience, with the 09-09-09 launch Leica set the stage, X1, M9 and S2, a base to build an all digital era for the company.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

murfman Posted October 20, 2009 Share #123 Posted October 20, 2009 God I hope not... Regards, Bill Ack! Thats what I happens when posting late! I was meaning build on in the digital era, I still take the IIIc for a spin, and am having a last fling with Kodachrome in my Minilux. Still have my eye on the X1 though.

mongrelnomad Posted October 23, 2009 Share #124 Posted October 23, 2009 Personally, I'm ok with a fixed lense. The only issue I have is with speed - why f2.8 instead of f2.0 or (we can wish!) f1.4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalethorn Posted October 23, 2009 Share #125 Posted October 23, 2009 Personally, I'm ok with a fixed lense. The only issue I have is with speed - why f2.8 instead of f2.0 or (we can wish!) f1.4? No doubt for quality reasons. To achieve the overall quality they have with the f2.8 lens in an f2 or f1.4 would make the camera significantly larger, and it's already at the breaking point for size now.

dickgrafixstop Posted November 8, 2009 Share #126 Posted November 8, 2009 Only if it would use M lenses and come in at less than half the price of the m9. Otherwise there are too many options at a much more reasonable cost. If I can get 85% of the image quality at 15-20% of the cost, I can forego the Leica kool-aid and get on with shooting. Two grand for a fixed focus point & shoot is ridiculous unless you have more money than brains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted November 8, 2009 Share #127 Posted November 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I can get 85% of the image quality at 15-20% of the cost why not go for 65% of the image quality at zero cost ....... just follow your mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipe-m Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share #128 Posted November 9, 2009 why not go for 65% of the image quality at zero cost ....... just follow your mentality Nope, he's way ahead of you there, the price-quality relationship is certainly not linear...

Vip Posted December 1, 2009 Share #129 Posted December 1, 2009 Few days ago Leica announce that from X1 will born family. So The idea of a different X1 was not so crazy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted December 1, 2009 Share #130 Posted December 1, 2009 Few days ago Leica announce that from X1 will born family. So The idea of a different X1 was not so crazy? Yeah, I was surprised as well, though it sounds like it'll be more about having different focal length versions of the X1 than an interchangable model to start with.

lct Posted December 1, 2009 Share #131 Posted December 1, 2009 Few days ago Leica announce that from X1 will born family. So The idea of a different X1 was not so crazy? No of course, we could expect this easily. Next step should be a new X with EVF and a moderate zoom i guess but i don't despair to get an M mount on those little beasts personally.

nhabedi Posted December 4, 2009 Share #134 Posted December 4, 2009 Hmm, missed out on this announcement.Where can I read something about this? It wasn't really an "announcement".

jsrockit Posted December 4, 2009 Share #135 Posted December 4, 2009 It wasn't really an "announcement". It was a comment made by someone from Solms (forgot who it was) in an interview. Still, a pretty good indication that the line will be expanded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oké, thank you nhabedi. This makes me hopefull for a X1 zoom. With a zoom the X1 would be my "always there allround" camera. Without a zoom I am not interested in the X1. Then I would go for micro 4/3 instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhabedi Posted December 4, 2009 Share #137 Posted December 4, 2009 This makes me hopefull for a X1 zoom. As I've said before, with a sensor of this size (APS-C as in the X1), zooms will have to be as big and heavy as those on typical dSLRs. It won't be a "compact" camera anymore.

jsrockit Posted December 4, 2009 Share #140 Posted December 4, 2009 Yes. Hmmm... The reason I ask is because there were compact 35mm film cameras with small zooms. What makes it harder on a digital with a similar size image capturing area? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
