"Had the opportunity to try this a few days ago in person. It is sublime. I took a handful of shots with 50/1.4, 50/2 and, to my mind at least, it is unbeatable in terms of bokeh, colour, soul, aesthetics. It genuinely knocked me for six. There are some very, very nifty little tricks it has up its sleeve for those concerned about hi MP and shake/low light. And, finally, a decent battery and USB C charging. I can’t reveal any more but it is most certainly not a sidegrade to the 10. Rather a fairly substantial upgrade. As always with Leica, the question on my mind is the following - for significantly less than the price of the M11 body I could get a Sony A1 that outperforms it in every way except for soul and (IMO) colours. Passion vs technical perfection. What price that Leica feeling…? Personally, going a little slower and working a little harder is more rewarding to me but perhaps that’s because I don’t have the pressure of being a pro photographer with deadlines and bosses.
At least I have a month to think about it. Anticipation is a wonderful thing. "
