Exciting stuff.
2025 is gonna be a big year for P1 bespoke ... upcoming opportunities are significant:
+ XT XL
+ 90 SB Tilt
+ New P1 XT glass (72 MK II FL, 120 ASPH re-hash)
+ XC universal (smaller XT) or XC35 HR / 40 HR
+ IQ5-250/275 (higher res, DR, new CPU, new battery system, concurrent WiFi and Bluetooth, higher res screen –> BOOM)
Dealers will have a fantastic year with all the upgrades and re-invigoration of the market.
If they get upgrade pricing right – its still a difficult market – we are in for an en of the drought next year!
And if Leica hits back with F2 APO MF glass with AF and .... MANUAL FOCUS AND MANUAL APERTURE it would be a complete re-boot of high res MF optics.
Unfortunately manual aperture has been cut in the last years due to weather sealing ... but one can hope!
X-shutter should be make sharp imagery with IQ5 fine given its a high-end vibration free leaf shutter system.
