[Leica] Save up your pennies... Quickly

[red735i at verizon.net]

The issue to me is whether the new camera will handle the obtuse angle issues of the WA M lenses. The EVF Is required for me.

I really do not care about AF nor weather sealing.
 
If it will use R lenses AND provide auto diaphragm operation, I'm in.

Assuming it is priced such that I can keep all appendages.

This is expected to be the introduction of the Leica SL, a 24mm x 36mm interchangeable-lens mirrorless system camera.

The rumor mill says:

autofocus
SLR shape, slightly bigger than M or Q
viewfinder similar to Leica Q viewfinder
sensor similar to Leica Q sensor
adapters for M and R lenses
IBIS

my speculation:

weather resistance similar to Leica S
lens mount derived from the Leica T

If the adapter for R lenses is any more than a dumb tube I'm in. Pennies being saved... and you'll hear more from me once Brian's friday declaration is posted.

With products that are always focused on "Das Wesentliche", the essentials, we provide photographers around the world with the ideal tools for capturing the decisive moment and for bringing their own vision to life. This tradition is what drives us to achieve and gives us the power to reinvent ourselves time and again. The outcome is a portfolio of cameras and lenses that redefine the status quo as we know it and have one thing in common, despite a century of progress: a focus on “Das Wesentliche” - in other words, the picture.
