However I think those that are already skilled RF photographers but for failing eyesight, this new M EV1 will be a breeze for many willing to adjust to the new approach. My guess is this is the customer base to include LSI members that will generate the first sales of the M EV1.
I put myself in this camp even though I did not join LFI.
That said I think the price should be at least $2k less and find it not giving me more than my M11+Viso2 except for the built-in EVF factor, but with the Viso2 tilted up 90 degrees I have shot people at around 4-5 feet and they had no idea I was taking a picture of them.
This one taken with the 50/0.95 Noctilux at f0.95 at less than 4 feet.
I can't find any logical justification to grip about Leica prices. It is what it is for some and less for others. This is the world we live in and as usual there are many alternatives at various price points. Seems whatever I am not willing to pay for in the Leica catalogue there are apparently many, many others more than willing to pony up haha. But then again I paid $15 for Leica branded microfiber clothes..a few times already so maybe I am a bit of a boujee 🤪
