Leica M11-H

[boojum]

This site (LEICA Barnack Berek Blog) has news of a Leica M11 with a built-in phone. I am not making this up. Those guys in Marketing!

Ooops, woohoo! Posted on 1 April. They got me. You can read it for entertainment reasons.

How about the M11-S. That should be an April 1 idea but it isn’t.

Leica launches M11-S camera, with radical new viewfinder

Leica is capping its centenary celebration of the M-camera's introduction with the limited-edition Leica M11-S for left-handed photographers

This camera could only be for the age group shown here. We left handers are very adaptable. And more ambidextrous than right handers. By the time I’d reassigned my right eye to looking through my M6 in my mid-30s with the acquisition of a wide angle lens, my transition was complete. What now would I do with a left handed/eyed Leica? Everything would go wrong, haptics, optics, my other Leicas. I’d develop a stutter. It’s a not so cute and expensive gimmick.

That photo? Nothing special. I shot it with my phone. 🙂

The next M11 model should be all EVF?

Looks to me like an inverted photo.

I think it was famed ex-Leica wedding photographer Jeff Ascough who once posted that he was testing a prototype autofocus rangefinder at least 10 years ago.

Am I the only person having trouble trying to figure out what an autofocus rangefinder camera is?

Contax G series is the only autofocus rangefinder system I know of. But since Jeff was having everyone on, he could have meant anything without regard for physical accuracy. 😆

Another possibility is in how the Fuji X-Pro line, Panasonic GX line and Sony A7C line are rangefinder style.

Can you look through the RF window and watch it autofocus?

Unfortunately not as the viewfinder doesn't have a RF patch, but it does adjust framing for parallax when focusing. The RF system of the G1 and G2 operates the same way as an optical rangefinder with two rangefinder windows, but incorporate CCD sensors instead of the user's eye.
