- I am still unsure whether the new Leica M11-V will be based on the M11 or M11-P (maybe based on the black paint M11?)
The new Leica M with EVF may not be called Leica M11-V, maybe something likeM-EV1, M11-EVF1, M-V, or similar,the name will be Leica M EV1- The camera is already in production:
During my last visit to Wetzlar, part of the production line was covered and not visible to visitors with the sign “Here is an innovative product in the making. Let us surprise you!”
The rumored Leica M camera with EVF doesn’t mean the optical rangefinder is dead
Leica M11-V camera coming with a hybrid viewfinder like the Fuji X100/X-Pro?
