How about a Leica digital rangefinder without LCD screen?

The M240P?!

有機會係真，七月頭同一位與德國總部有關的朋友食左個tea，佢話"sense"到有部搞鬼野，Monochrome可能係，而M240P相信係另一種新規產品。
新S用CMOS及加movie功能佢就直情話肯定左。

If it does not come with a LCD, then I would only consider buying it if it is wi-fi enabled with a Leica app for instant viewing and playback like someone said on Leicarumor.

If there is no LCD, it would be very disappointing if the thickness is the same as M240 or M9 (too thick)

If no LCD, the metering must be further improved because no review available.

Without LCD should be a limited edition , I am not sure is what they named M-P or just one more new model

charging more by providing less. Typical Leica philosophy

to me, the biz model sought by current mgt is like

promote entry or mid level products with usual functionality to lure users familiar with C/N to step into L. when new users feel comfortable with L products and get to know more about philosophies behind, the mgt starts to launch products with very basic functions

in the meantime, to keep nominal values of L brand afloat or even take it to next levels, the market is flooded with limited edition L products

I have seen some threads on l-camera-forum.  It seems that some gweilos really want to have such a camera.  They call it "digital M-P".

That would be a suitable feature for me as I seldom use the LCD on my MM.

Just wonder how one operates the menu without a display.

If that's the case, it's not going to be a street camera.

There must be a display somewhere for menu.

Jason

if it is selling 1k usd LESS than the original M240. i think everyone will give a thumbs up. and it will sell like hot cakes.

only IF!

ISO setting only as anyway only shoot RAW, simply like M film camera.

But what about lens selection with coded lenses, SD formatting, even user-presets?

It is still a electronic camera that needs to display functions.

Probably an APP is available, even you could use smart phone for live screen ......
