Well... I must say I am so disappointed. No other way to say it. That thing is just MASSIVE. Size wise its much closer to Nikon D600/D750 and Canon 6D, than Sony A7 -series (or A7R II). I think this was a huge mistake. Now it seems Leica is going head to head against CaNikon, a potential suicide already there. They should have tried to keep the size small. And yes, A7r II still does have size advantage compared to full frame DSLRs. But compared to SL body and lenses I\'ve seen, Leica does not have the same advantage. And the body does not even have IBIS yet it still weights 847 g. I\'m wondering if this thing will have a bulb mode. And I mean a real bulb mode, not same as Q/M 240 limited to 1 minute exposures. That is not a real bulb mode.
NO DIGITAL CAMERA can technically have real bulb mode.. Period. 30 minutes is a pretty long time if you ask me. I usually get bit by misquotes after about 2 minutes.. And I usually lose my patience and kick my tripod after about 5 or 6 minutes.
BTW 8000th mechanical shutter is good enough for me.
