Roger,
Have no fear. According to both Jesko and Peter Karbe, the 28 Lux is coming. They just need to build tooling. I'd expect to see this lens in the coming months.

David,
I see I am now a new member. And my photo is gone. Perhaps I might as well start over with one posting?I like everything but the forum. It will take an adjustment. the news etc is a big improvement on a computer. My iPhone jams on the site and I can't access the forum yet.

I installed this and the cam is telling me that there are Lens updates available when I switch it on,but the lens firmware on the owners area is not new..
You will need to perform the firmware install with each lens. When downloading the firmware from the Leica website, you will find only the camera firmware, but it will contain the lens…[Read more]

Nothing unexpected. In fact, less than expected. Would like certainly like the USB 3, not really excited about anything else. Happy with my 006.

So far, so good. Downloaded an using it now. Confused why Leica S Rep, Ben Ross would tell me it is unnecessary to Update Lens Firmware in 006, as he told me square to my face it is done by updating the Firmware only. Absolutely not true!
After Updaing Firmware, messages will demand that you Update Lens Firmware as well, which is available. -

A quick little video we put together at the store while unboxing the X-E. Stop by Leica Store Miami to see the new X-E and the X (Typ 113). -

Looks good in many ways but lack of long exposure and zero jump in Resolution is disappointing,I will buy the new Summicron instead and Keep my 006,Still its nice to see USB 3 and wifi.
Looking forward to seeing how these files compare to the CCD file..

Great write-up David!! And the questions/answers also.
David, the part I find fascinating is the simplification of cameras comment, and the reason I love my M9. Could you ask if there is any push for simplification in the successor to the M240? Perhaps , my question is more request, so I am going to jump in with both feet. As features are added the complexity increases quickly, the M240 is feature rich and the complexity also followed. If anyone can simplify it is Leica, my frustration is the button pushing for playback with evf/screen firstly and the menu system secondly. A simplification could go something like this, attach the camera to a computer, allow choices of menu items visible/hidden. If I don't use a menu item I could then hide it and never have to deal with it, thus simplifying. Of course simplifying initially adds complexity by creating one more process but the field shooting would be simplified by less menu choices. I am sure Leica could come up with a better solution, perhaps in a firmware update?
Daryl, this is an interesting idea. I'm happy to mention it tomorrow.
David,
Always nice to read your comments on this every two year show. No one else seems to capture the feelings, as well as the insight. The metal shades on the new lenses is most welcome, but I am having a difficult time understanding how the lens cap can fit over both the lens and the shade. I must be missing something?
The great cub reporter is at it again!
Your screed is a pleasure to read and I look forward to your upcoming report on the Leica S (typ 007).
Albert
Thanks Albert. Working on it now. So much information! I spent about two hours with the product managers earlier today.
David, thank you for the show report. Lots of stuff to cover. On a side note, which camera did you use for the photos of the event?
I'm guessing X Vario Mark 😉
Peter is correct. I used the X Vario (Typ 107) for almost all of the images in the article except for a few really close-up shots where I used the D-Lux 6.
I'm pretty sure that the event images were all taken at ISO 1600.
Nice little camera, that X Vario….
David…thanks for the well written and informative report. Enjoyed reading it and look forward to the next chapter.
Excellent write-up David!
Perhaps the new MM will be like the M 60, without the LCD.
And certainly agree with Mr. Jesko von Oeynhausen comment and I quote
“From a quality perspective, there is no need for improvement”.
