Looks interesting. The pictures look real and distinctly pre-production. Has the viewfinder gotten bigger, or is it just the odd angle from which the shots are taken? The SL2 sensor is wonderful. I wouldn't mind having it in an M10 frame.
No probably about it!He'll probably pop-up around mid July ... Update: the upcoming Leica M10-R camera could have a 40MP and not a 47MP sensor
:grin:
https://www.slack.co.uk/leica-m10-r.htmlThere it is:
Leica M10-R camera officially announced
Leica's 40 Megapixel M10-R is its highest resolution rangefinder yet
Now where is Mr. Slack ?
:watch:
I would never buy that Leica M rangefinder. Then it would just be like all the rest. I by far prefer an optical rangefinder. I don't have issues with focus. In fact I find the focus far more reliable than any auto focus. If you want what you are discribing those cameras are already out there. Lots of room to move around there. Leica digital M is a real alternative to all of that. I love my M 10s. I liked my forst M 10 so muchI bought another for my pro work. I also own an M 262, MM and M-E. My next camera will be the M 10 Mono. Not for the MPs but for the improved ISO and DR.the sensor is new, the rest of it is recycled old parts. dpreview says its best to focus bracket to get the focusing right. we need a electronic rangerfinder m. i hope they are working on it.

What makes you think that it should be much less expensive than previous models? Actually, it is cheaper than the previous model (M10-P, M10-D: $8795.-).
The sensor seems to be a color modified version of the M10 Monochrom sensor with the updated features of the M10-P... so not really all “recycled” parts per se. Focusing an M can be hard with fast lenses and poor eyesight but I’d argue the user experience is likely subjective. Maybe the M is better suited for those with poorer eyesight to use wide and normal lenses with medium apertures (f/2-f/8).the sensor is new, the rest of it is recycled old parts. dpreview says its best to focus bracket to get the focusing right. we need a electronic rangerfinder m. i hope they are working on it.
the 020 finder, i cant get use to, hopefully they will now make dipoters for the m10, till now u have buy the m240 which is smaller and then buy the adpter which makes the finder smallerThat is not what they wrote.
They write here:
"From my shooting on the M10-R so far, focus accuracy is about what I'd expect from shooting with the original M10. When working wide-open, it's sensible (if you can) to focus bracket a little bit, but with practice, it's not too hard to get focus where you want it, in most situations – despite the higher pixel count. For critical work, the optional Typ 020 viewfinder (shown above on an M10) allows for precise manual focus."
Hmm...maybe the eye hole (they call it a view finder) could be the size of a dime or a quarter then they get my money forget about 40mp.The sensor seems to be a color modified version of the M10 Monochrom sensor with the updated features of the M10-P... so not really all “recycled” parts per se.

I think the “best” anyone could hope for is that Leica brings out a “Leica QL” in the future to bridge small form factor with lens flexibility. That would fly off the shelves IMO for those not adverse to EVF’s and perhaps even bringing a younger audience to Leica over the course of time.
As Sir Henry Royce said:...
Everyone seems to get hung up on the price whenever a new Leica is released. I can't say as I understand this; I choose not to. It's expensive, yes. Like so many other things, that's simply a matter of choice coupled with what you personally are willing to spend. I don't see much point to complaining about it.

The quality remains long after the price has been forgotten.
