    The irony of…the major base plate redesign breaking 60 years of tradition in order to make battery changes easier and faster…and then bestowing the camera with a much longer life battery that doesn’t require changing anywhere near as often, and even having the ability to charge the battery in the camera….isn’t entirely lost on me

      Agreed Lawrence. Also I question some of these arguments about speed in real world usage. Removing the base plate takes a second and isn't the whole point of Leica to slowdown anyway? Also I would much rather have a replaceable piece of brass there than an exposed usb -c

    • @jimbob119874
      @jimbob119874 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Also, while the new battery compartment "hatch" design makes it easier to change the battery, the close proximity of the tripod mount to the lock/unlock switch means you still can't open it without removing a tripod plate, which to me, would have been the biggest benefit of such a design.

    One really great aspect of the M11 and that lens is that they really don't see you coming. It's tiny in hand and doesn't appear like a professional camera to the uneducated eye. Great for stealthing around and not becoming the center of attention. With the body and lens, that's $16,000 US. Worth it? I think so, for the pro, on the go... the more you know.

    • @dougmacmillan1712

      @Jack Burton I've shot with Leica since 1968. I've had my current M3 for going on 40 years. Shooting with a Leica is a love/hate experience. I now shoot with Fuji X-E cameras and have tried the Fuji X-Pro2. My X-E cameras are almost exactly the same size as my M3 and just as much fun, if not more fun to use. If you want an OVF experience then the X-Pro series is terrific, what the Leica digital should have been. The true rangefinder as used by Leica is really usable with three focal lengths - 35, 50 and 90mm. Rangefinder focusing can be very finicky. With Fuji, if you want, you can hang their 100-400 on an X-Pro, switch to EVF and not miss a beat. Technical reviews and my own experience show Fuji lenses can stand toe to toe with Leica lenses at a fraction of the cost.

    • @steveo85
      @steveo85 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      My first M was an M8 a few years ago. Sold it after shooting it for only a year because I started worrying about mechanical and/or electrical failures. I realized that I was mostly converting to black-and-white, I favor the 50 mm focal length, and I really enjoyed the process of using an M. This led me to a single stroke M3. Once you get used to that wonderful M3 view finder it’s tough to go back to anything else. I look at any digital M camera knowing if it lasts 20 years it will be a miracle. I know this M3 will be around much longer than I will.

    It's weird that they have the nerve to charge the same price for the aluminium anodised version as the brass version. But not surprising. It just seems obvious to me that black paint, black chrome, and silver chrome is what customers expect in an M body. Aluminium should be for the lower spec/older spec versions, or at least cheaper. No doubt there will be a black paint option at a higher price

    I give Leica credit for their very long history in photography, and for having a unique identity. As well as carving out a niche audience/market that pays the crazy prices for their cameras. It's an interesting business and marketing strategy. But their cameras are way out of reach for most people. Or certainly what most people are willing to pay. Especially when there are such good Japanese cameras at a fraction of the cost that can do much of the same or much more in many cases. Beautiful cameras for sure. But also far behind in features and innovation.

    I'm keeping my M10-R Black Paint even if someday I get an M11 (or later model). Why? Because in my view, it's the last of the film inspired digital M's (removable baseplate). Probably a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but does make me want to hold on to the camera nevertheless. And, Leica moving away from brass bodies, which is a shame.
