Mic Drop Moment: M10-D with thumb lever

[aizan]

epson r-d1 lovers rejoice!

not happy about the ev comp, though. it’s like the one on the m7, and that’s not so ergonomically placed. if i were the designer, i would have made it like on the minolta cle/zeiss ikon.

It will be very nice if EVF is supported as shown. Not for reviewing photos, but to use R lenses without having to guess/scale focus.

Enabling the FOTOS app on this camera seems beside the point. If you want to preview your photos, just get the regular M10 instead of juggling the camera with your phone.

it does seem a bit unnecessary for such a pared down camera. perhaps even against the spirit of such a design.

i'm wondering if it would allow you to make your smartphone screen the "live view" screen when the unusual circumstance calls for it. honestly, that doesn't sound like the worst idea i've ever heard.

Guess what, you can even adjust the date setting on the M-D 262. With the thumb wheel.

I imagine it will be essential for the implementation of auto ISO setting.

it be nice if they would permit total deactivation of either dial (the exp comp on back or the thumb wheel) to avoid accidental settings.

Its not retro enough.

I'm waiting for the pre-brassed chrome Lenny Kravitz M-10 LK Special Edition
That does not take batteries or cards.

Made in Stalingrad of course.

looks good

Twenty five winds to start the day, then a double stroke before each shot. Another twenty five winds to get the wifi up. Holds 37 files, but sometimes one is only a partial frame.

The advance lever send the photo to your Instagram -- it uses your cellphone as a Wifi hot spot. You can set it up so you can't take another photo until the first one receives a like. Also doubles as a bottle opener -- but only works on German beers. I have all this on good authority.

OK, the fun part..

OK, the fun part..

How much will this cost?

I'm saying... $10,000.

If this isn't a pipe dream that lever would really need to be for actually cocking the shutter otherwise it's a pointless gimmick. I hope this camera is real but you have to wonder at the re-engineering required to create it ... but if they have it's another example of Leica's ability to do the unpredictable. It could be expensive though!

C'mon Keith, name your price!

C'mon Keith, name your price!

Lol ... whatever it is if it happens it will be too much for me.

And how long after they release this will they offer a version that doesn't have an electronic sensor in it ... but some other weird type of light sensing material? :angel:

Meanwhile I have an RD1. 🙂

海外のソースからライカM10-Dの背面と上面の画像を提供して貰いました。 > We got front and rear pictures of the Leica M10-D from an "overseas source".

But the pictures have noki5hita's watermark anyway... the smell of fishy fishy fishy fish is strong with this one��

 

[Fjäll]

In a few years we will have a camera that lacks an LCD, has an advance lever, doesn't require batteries and has presets in little canisters. Oh wait..

 

[Godfrey]

The rh, top plate button on the M-D tells you how many exposures you have left and the current battery state.

You cannot format the card in the M-D camera at all, or delete photos.

You can use the thumb wheel to set the EV compensation when shooting. And also to set the date and time (the only configuration settings on the M-D).

If you have the ISO knob AND an EV compensation knob AND a button like I see on this fake M10-D image, those could be used to set date and time. There's really little need for yet another control just to set the date and time.

I love the M-D typ 262, it's my favorite of all the M cameras—film or digital—I've had for the past 50 years. I wouldn't want an M10-D with any more features than the M-D has, at all. The only things I'd like to see in the M10-D aside from what the M-D has would be the improved view finder and sensor. Everything else is unnecessary and frivolous, not in keeping with what the M-D is supposed to be.

Noki5hita is usually pretty reliable with its rumours. It's not what I'm looking for, but it will certainly be an interesting camera. There's any number of shooters who enjoy using a shutter cock/film wind lever, although the subset of those who can afford a Leica of this nature would be quite small.

 

[benlees]

Can't wait for the "I would put an M4 lever on it though"

announcement is one week away (apparently). would be a strange time for a fake image to surface if the real deal is a week away.

i agree with you and others that this just doesn't seem like the next logical evolution of the M-D.

 

[farlymac]

Quite a few years ago when the topic of converting a film camera to digital came up (a la today's "I'm Back" project), I tinkered with the thought of using the advance lever by connecting it to a piezoelectric generator and capacitor to power the imaging device for each shot, in replacement of the take-up spool. I have no idea what it's doing on an M10-D.

Fake or not,

It would definitely bring back some of those easy-access ergonomics of my beloved Epson R-D1.
My M-E is nice and all, but I don't like having to go open up the back of the halfcase to access the menu to change the ISO.

The cocking lever is just gravy! 🙂

Isn't it common to watermark images with online leak-news? The first website to get the leaked information puts their own watermark on it, to brand themselves as being exclusive with the leaked images?

I've seen other sites do it, for example with regards to Apple products.
