I think you are right. I was thinking full frame and medium format.

I hope, but I am not sure because Leica does not use Sony sensors, instead they will most likely use a sensor from CMOSIS, which means it will be about 1 to 2 years behind Sony to the market and have half the ISO sensitivity. I am not trying to be sarcastic.

For studio work, I personally find the setup, lighting etc is more important. You create the ideal situation for the camera because there are alot more variables that you can control and tweak. The camera is secondary. It is the outdoor shoots that I rely more on the camera because it is often...

Some studio work.

AF, CCD sensor, S lens, Medium Format...

I have the S and carry it around with me alot. The body is not that heavy or bulky if you compare it with a Nikon D4 or a Canon 1DX OR even a D800 or 5D3 with vertical grip. Having said that, it is still a CCD medium format camera so it will have the shortcomings. Poor high ISO, heavy shutter...

To be fair, most of his reviews are overly enthusiastic. You just need to understand his reviewing style. I personally don't like it and stopped reading his reviews regularly but he does give a decent real world usage reviews, just don't buy into his enthusiasm.

It is one of those lenses that you will never miss if you don't own it. BUT once you do and start to use it, you will notice a difference when you use other lenses.

Product is real. It has already been launched with the 100 Edition kit with the 2 bodies and will soon be launched in black to be sold as a lens. Knowing Leica, soon will most likely be now till Photokina.

Chiif is the person I will go and see if I did not own a printer. Leica Singapore also offers printing services. The prices seem fair. I have personally not used them in Singapore so I can't judge but it should not be bad if they have the same standards as the other Leica shops in other countries.

True, but that will be one less thing that separates them from the rest. I shoot mostly with my Leica S, so anything smaller than that is welcome.

But if using Live View it will show up during focusing.

If using Live View and focus peaking, there is almost no way the lens or body needs adjustment because you are looking through the lens and the sensor is displaying what it "sees". What you see is pretty much what you get. If there is a problem, you will notice it in Live View. What shutter...

One day but not in the near future, the death of manual focus lenses have been announced since AF was introduced many years ago, yet some of the latest, best and sharpest lenses are still manual focus only. I personally think it is a size and weight problem.

Just FYI. If I am not wrong, alot of M8s can no longer be serviced by Leica because they have run out of of parts. They will instead offer you a trade up offer where you can buy a ME at a discounted price.
