Emmm ... looks very gooding this one. So far only 2 lenses and 1 M mount adapter for now. Wonder what the price is gonna be like. Too bad it's APS-C. But then again, not all ppl can buy it given the brand, if they come out with FF sensor surely the price going to be more bomb ... tongue.gif

Yup, for the price tag of almost RM6K, with full aluminium body, hand made sum more, really a steal since most of us can afford to buy a7/7r/7s dee ... this price not that too far off anyways, but the price is body only. if you already have M mount lenses lying around, then just get the new adapter, should be good dee ...

Well, unbelievable price consider the selling price of M series and Leiva Vario...

But like Sony RX1...the accessories kill you...EVF 1/3 of the body price, adapter 1/4 of the body price, lenses are around the body price...

But still...It's Leica~

The assembly and finishing is made by hand, thoughtfully, not like the China factories assembly lines. And I am not implying that the aluminium block was crafted by hand either. If they wanted to, they (Leica) would not definitely put the price tag at USD1850.

as discussed currently at dpreview, i really wonder how much the labour is to assemble the camera. leica is earning so much from that little camera.
