An M camera with IBIS, a good MF implementation, and a smooth stabilized viewfinder would be a very compelling camera... Just sayin'

How do you define your typical low light shooting e.g.: aperture/shutter speed/ISO? I'm interested to test similar scenario with the Visoflex 2.


Imagine low-lit bar/restaurant settings, minimum ISO 5000, 35mm 1/60 -> 1/30 if I want to add some motion blur for effect.

Thank you. Your settings are IMO a good practical low light test.

Even though I've had the Visoflex 2 since release, I am reintroducing myself to Visoflex 2 on the M11 due to very little use since purchase. Good idea ( thanks 1bwana1 ) for me to put the Visoflex 2 to the test before we see what the EV-1 can do.

Thanks. Tuesday I plan to take the SL3 and a 45mm and a 90mm out and manualy shoot so that experience is also fresh in my mind when testing the EV-1.

One note. When doing a quick comparison between SL3 EVF w/ IBIS On/Off vs M11 + Visoflex 2 w/ these longer M-lenses and as suspected, I found SL3 IBIS On can make a noticeable image stabilization difference in the SL3 EVF vs IBIS Off when punching into magnification mode on the SL3 EVF.

I have also done that IBIS on/off test on my SL3. Noticeable difference especially when zoomed in. That is not encouraging for the EV-1.

I would love to know what the M EV-2 will encompass.

Basically, I would like my camera to give me the flexibility to be able to do something like this with Leica Noctilux glass one day:

Fred, I must say the EVF window looks very much like the Q3.

With button placement on the left, similar to the M / Q2 ... and does that look like a Q3 flip screen display?

The images above certainly look interesting, especially the front of the camera. Right?

No confirmation if this is a quality rendering, or the real deal… or am I wrong about this?

I gotta say if this rendering is accurate, the overall aesthetics on the front looks off compared to a regular M11 or a Q3. They should've moved some of the design elements - e.g. light sensor or logo over to the side. Fuji did a better job with similar elements on the X-E5.

Eh. They forgot to clone out the rangefinder window.

The hope (my hope!) is that MF assist in the EV-1 will be so good there will be no need to zoom in to visually confirm focus most of the time.

Could be the light sensor - SL series has a similar window
