Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

The M9 of my dreams.

Last night I dreamed I was given a panoramic Leica M9 fixed-lens rangefinder with a film winder operated by a flathead screwdriver (not supplied). The lens had a 50mm focal length/50mm filter diameter.

The whole thing came pre-brassed.

I kid you not.

Dear Del,

well, that's more realistic than some of the ideas people put forward as 'dream cameras', or swear they they've heard a reliable rumour about.

Cheers,

R.

You've got to be kidding! This sounds more like a nightmare (or a scenario to put Leica out of business once and for all) to me.

By tomorrow afternoon this will be all over the net, rumored to be Leica's offering at Photokina.

I had to laugh at this one... because it is very likely a true statement.
