Re: Leica M11-V to be announced (Now called Leica M EV1)
As a Sigma FP-L owner, while I love its compactness, there are three pain points make me unable to fully love the camera:
1. No EVF
2. No full full mechanical shutter
3. No wireless connectivity
Leica M-EV1 happen to address those three pain points perfectly. I also have a M11 monochrom, however my most frequent focal length are 21mm and 90mm, not the best use case with M's ovf.
The only issue is the price, however it is my problem, not Leica's problem. I always feel funny to see people complaining high price of Leica, because no one is forced to buy it. It's not like you are in a photography class and the teacher says you can only use Leica camera for the assignment. I have never seen people complaining something like Patek Philippe watch, or the $5000+ ticket price for the first row seat of NBM or MLB games too expansive, why bashing Leica for the price?
