Fake project- Leica digital CL

[underbyte]

Don't you realize what you have done????

Scandalous!

Sketches of the digital CL are going to cannibalize sales or at least the sketches of an M10!!!!! You alone could bring down Leica, or bring back the M5, I'm not sure which will happen first.

Put me down for a digital CL too, with an adjustable .72 to 1:1 finder.

Looks like someone found this post and write it nicer than I ever could...

You do have a point if I'm understanding correctly what're implying.

Great design, must admit.
I would give a vote to: making digital camera without LCD screen - then, a lot of film photographers would stop complaining about "looking on LCD screen after every taken picture is.. bla bla bla" 😀

Yeah, it's confusing without seeing this first...

Exactly! I am actually working on a screen-less camera design. It's quite tough to approach that since the camera will have a lot more physical dials without the on screen menus.

I'd suggest you seek some feedback from Steve Huff and then find out what he thinks, also speak with those who know about the technicality of such matters. That is the best you can do for now.

I'll take three - black paint, chrome with Levant leather, and gold with lizard.

I like it. Be sure to include framelines for 21, 24, 28, 35, & 50mm lenses. The finder magnification should probably be lowered to around .6 to get the 21mm framelines in view. A manual frameline selector might make it possible to have only one frameline visible at a time. I wonder if a focus confirmation LED might be better than a short-base rangefinder? I'd want 1/3 stop steps for ISO setting. A useable low-noise top ISO of 1600 or even 1250 would be enough for me.

This is a much-needed camera. Let's keep this thread going. Maybe they'll make it!

Nice job, but whatever happened to the guy here that was actually adapting an M (3?) to digital?

I think you might be referring to Hugh Finney, who was working on a digital M2 for black & white? Where did he go?

Yeah, there are quite many great and useful thoughts on the replies to that post. However I can't even post any replies just to correct the spelling of my name there. Maybe my IP was locked there or something 🙄 I will watermark my renderings from now on. Lesson learned.

Gold & lizard?! That will be CL's 30 year special edition!! I love the idea.

wish it will happen one day 😛

nice sketches!

 

[robklurfield]

Gosh, if that's all it will take to convince Leica to make this, then you can put my name on the list.😀

Thanks for all your kind words😱
Leica might consider making digital CL if they see enough "I'll take one" kind of comments 😀

@Chris good eyes!😀 also, image size problem fixed

@Cyrus Yeah, I know 😀

Juju: I love the design, I love the sketches! I am still waiting for my cl to come in the mail, but this is great. I hope you send it to Leica. Surely they want to make some money. The CL saved their butts before, it could do it again.

 

[nksyoon]

Rubber contoured handgrip on the back, as on the R-D1, please.

Would someone just make one already?! 😕 Epson tried but quit while they were ahead and CV said outrightly they wouldn't ever make one. :bang:

If it came with just the CL frame lines but in FF, I'm in.

The M4-2 also did this before, but I don't think we'll ever see a MP4-2 Anniversary edition anytime soon... 🙄

Well, if Leica aren't listening, perhaps Fuji are! 🙂

Would love something like a digital CL, and would buy one without hesitation.
