Mechanical shutter sound: Once I tried the M10-P for the first time, I was hooked. It has the perfect sound to me. Quiet and pleasant. I would not like shooting with the e-shutter all the time even if the scan rate was fast. I much prefer the mechanical feel and sound when shooting with a rangefinder. Dpreview mentioned that the M11's shutter sounds like the vanilla M10 and not like the M10-P and R, so that would be a downgrade to me. (You would actually prefer that!)
I'm a little thrown about the shutter sound of the M11, as different sources say conflicting things. In his review on Red Dot, David Farkas instead suggests that the quiet shutter from the 10-P/M/R has been carried over to the M11:
"switch to Electronic only to eliminate all shutter vibration and shoot in complete silence. Sure, the ultra-quiet shutter carried over from the M10-P, M10-R and M10 Monochrom is barely audible in most circumstances, but sometimes you need no noise at all."
I'd be more inclined to believe a dpreview reviewer than a Leica camera store representative. We will know who is right soon enough.
Agree. To get unbiased user opinions difficult since many just want click bait. But are not the dp guys also Leica dealers in Canada?
re Questions-battery still charging, but finally orange started flashing. I will go out this afternoon with the APO 35 and perhaps the APO VM 90 and maybe my Noctilux f1.0. For sure will try the EVF. Just realized that a black M11 with the EVF nearly equals the heft of the silver model without EVF.
