Interesting concept, and subject to a very expensive crash if it were real

Wouldn’t we need some smaller and lighter lenses for a small L-mount body?
I’ll second that too.
Hi Don Seems like what. you are asking for is a small L mount body? I couldn’t agree more! best

Just re-visited this article… I’m having fun with a Leica M8 with the 21mm f4.5 ZM Biogon-C. With a 28mm…
Just the opposite: The tilting screen should be just AVOIDABLE in all LEICA cameras! LEICA: Are you LISTENING?!

Thanks Mark. I wish I’d had a Noctilux available when I borrowed the camera. It would definitely have added a…
Like you Mike I was initially sceptical of the EV1, but upon inspection and trial, purchased one. I find it…
To be honest, I hadn’t considered this option of adding AF, which sounds very contrarian. But I do remember thinking…
Many thanks for your kind words! I did try all the options and, although I may not have stressed it…

Sorry I have replied, but in the wrong place!
Could be I don’t much mind how, but if Leica are even considering such a option they will also be…

Yes, you are right, of course. That’s what I meant. But so long ago now!
Some very good snaps, and no AI! I particularly like the composite by Millie Melvin. Long may real photography continue.
Those would be at best tiny, tiny jpegs. Possibly you mean 2GB.
I’m amazed at the colors in the images. I shoot with the Q2 and Q2M. I can’t get vivid colors…
