michael_reichmann1 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 My hands-on review of the new Leica M7 is now available at... <p> http://www.luminous-landscape.com/leica_m7.htm <p> I'll be pleased to try and answer any questions about the camera here. <p> Michael The Luminous Landscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_hoffman Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Interesting review of the M7 Michael. I'm itchin' to try one. <p> Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris9 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 My only complaint is that the M7 should have provided an AE lock switch that locks the exposure for as long as the switch is engaged. (As on Contax bodies.) <p> As is, the AE lock is disengaged after every shot when the motor winder is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msitaraman Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Isn't the AE lock disengaged after every shot, even if the winder is <b><i>not</b></i> used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_reichmann1 Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 To clarify the exposure-lock issue I've added the following paragraph... <p> "Note though that exposure lock only is in effect for one frame. If you use a motor winder, for example, all frames after the first will not have lock in effect. The way to handle this situation is therefore through the use of manual exposure settings." <p> Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_moth Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Michael, <p> Good review, thanks, I enjoyed reading it. You may want to correct the typo in the following sentence (should be 1/60 sec): <p> "In the event that you lose power there are two mechanical, non- battery dependant shutter speeds available; 1/160 sec and 1/125 sec."

lucien1 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 > But the red Leica dot is still there! Thank goodness. <p> Michael, <p> That's the only point where we desagree. <p> IMO the Red Dot is ugly. The M7 (and all other M cameras) will be much nicer without.

michael_kastner Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 How about if Leica didn't offer only a black model and a chrome model (each with a red dot) but also each without a dot? My four cents worth ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
