No more mirror image?New teaser for the camera is up on the website...

Let's theorize the inverted lettering....back to the future, so to speak?
From La Vida Leica!:35 and 60 on dx would make sense for the T: I portrait focal length 90 equivalent and a standard 50 equivalent.

The original quote was "When critics get together, they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about brushes."Josh
Painters seldom talk about their tools such as paints and brushes, they just get on with creating art. Gear always seems to be our fall back position and our nemesis.
I don't think just because Sony has the A7rII(or whatever the 42mp one is called... Sorry, I get really confused with the Sony and Olympus name designations!) that it negates the value of a similar camera from Leica. Ive got a MFDB system that I love and I would love a 24mp Leica system that's basically a mini S camera or beefed up Q. My hope is that it has the video qualities of the GH4 in a full frame sensor, plus IBIS and the still photo quality of Leica, with a modern af system and a beautiful EVF. If they can make adapters to use full functioning Nikon and canon glass, like they did for the S and Hassy/Contax lenses that would be amazing. It would definitely help more people transition to it and slowly build up some Leica lenses. As opposed to having to spend a ton of money for a new camera and full lens lineup. But it is a Leica, so it will not be cheap. The images that I've seen from the Q have had the most depth of any digital 35mm that I've seen. Granted this is just online images, so I need to test one in person. But if I'm hopeful that this new camera will be the perfect one, for me, right in between a micro 4/3 and MFDB. I just haven't been totally happy with the canikons for a while. Not that they aren't great cameras, they are. So is the Sony A7rII and the fact that they came through with uncompressed raw is great. And as always, they are the tools we use to make great pictures, not the reason we make them. It's just like a painter preferring different brushes or paint. We are lucky there are so many great options out there for us to choose and the technology is so advanced. It's really like choosing which roll of film is right for you back in the "old" days. Fuji, Kodak, velvia, provia... Except those only cost a few dollars a roll.

Come on, a mirrorless FF Leica Camera, this is already revolutionary given their historyI think you missed my point.
My point was.. Leica's recent few teasers have all been very boastful. Like they're bringing out something revolutionary. But all the rumours point to a mirrorless full frame camera (and that has already been done by Sony). Nothing revolutionary about it. I'm hoping they've got something up their sleeve... But I have a feeling not.
And for me, even though I own and use cameras with EVF I just still feel disconnected.I have shot with EVFs so much that a typical OVF just doesn't cut it anymore.
I rely on the info readily available in an EVF.
Optimal would be to combine those two VFs into a single one without lesser availability of information.
Agree on both these points.Come on, a mirrorless FF Leica Camera, this is already revolutionary given their history
I agree something nice and even more revolutionary would be great to see!
At the rumoured $6,500 body price tag. A mirrorless S-sensor wouldn't happen.Agree on both these points.
A mirrorless version of the S with a medium format sensor would be revolutionary, but I doubt we will see that - a shame, given I'd likely want to be first in the queue for such a product.
