[Leica] Welcome, M11

[Frank Filippone]

The way IBIS works, is that the sensor moves back and forth.  It HAS to be thicker than a non-IBIS sensor.

Remember the fuss made when Leica added some thickness (4mm / 0.156"  or a bit over 1/8 inch) to the M240? Can you imagine a repeat of all of that 
fuss "just" to gain IBIS?

Sometimes you just have to ignore your target market and move forward with better technology.... ( Digital Imaging, RF) .. they will eventually 
appreciate it.... when the results (pictures) are better!


Peter Karbe does a very nice explanation of how the MTF of a lens is related to the sensor resolution, in layman's terms.

It is worth a listen for anyone interested in photography, who  is scientifically oriented.... others beware, it is pretty nerdy.
