Those of you holding outside for a full-frame M series Leica may be in fortune, although you’ll quiet possess a while to tarry. Up until at present, the digital rangefinders possess had cropped sensors, making them not able to appropriately employ Leica’s stupefying array of lenses. Notwithstanding, speaking the the UK’s Layman Photographer, Leica’s US marketing boss Christian Erhardt said that the companionship wants to build single, in spite of the reality that M8 owners are not bothered near non-full-frame.
There are quiet complex hurdles, although. The justification we haven’t seen a filled framework rangefinder as yet is because of sensor limitations. Leica M cameras possess their lenses set down extremely afar invest in in the corpse, close to the coating or sensor. This makes them smaller than SLRs. It also means that illumination from the lens hits the sensor at a extremely surface angle.
With coating, this was super — a photon is a photon, and it didn’t material from which directing it came to strike the silverware halide. Digital sensors, although, like their illumination to approach’s from the face, which would outcome in strict vignetting on a full-frame rangefinder.
So, while we hold our fingers crossed, so should Erhardt. Mould year the previous Leica CEO Steven Lee suggested that the companionship would be making a filled framework M8. Leica fired him.
