In few hours, at 5:00pm Paris time, the Leica Camera and Magnum Photos event "Past. Present. Future." will start where the new M9-P camera plus Leica Super Elmar M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH lens will be unveiled. I will be posting updates from the announcement as I get them on Twitter (hashtag #leicamagnumparis).

    Most of you would hate this idea, and this is way too late for a wish list, but I was thinking that if the M9 had an attachable EVF (which would mean “live view” capacity as well), with Sony-NEX-style “peak focus” for manual focus confirmation, it would become the mythical “R Solution” for me…

      Never going to happen. The ‘traditionalist’ M element would all barf in their soup.

      Some day, into the future, Leica will surprise and come up with a new camera design……..into the future……..

        and hopefully that future will never happen! ;-)

        Frankly, rangefinders users, I for one, want to use rangefinders the way it is. Adding live-view means more costs.
        The M9 is already pricey enough as it is.
        Great to hear all the opinions about how the Ms should be made better (Michael Freeman anyone?), but honestly unless those stuff are really going to bring down costs down the road (by higher sales volume), I would think it’s a gimmick that a serious rangefinder users don’t need.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the first Leica to hit the market after the special editions?
