Pros: Now the M is a digital platform on which you can mount any lens and frame everything in the viewfinder, focusing precisely (manual of course). In terms of MAF I found it easier, with objectives from 28 to 90, to use the rangefinder. Now the maf is great for any optic. It is also lighter than the M11P.

Cons: I would say none (at least for now). I would suggest Leica work on integrating sensor stabilization to avoid micro blur. However, nothing that makes the use of this gem critical. However, I do not understand the speculation of implementing an internal memory of only 64Gb.

Opinion: I switched from M11P to M11EV1 in order to make the best use of the lens park that supports my needs. All Voigtlander: 10/5.6; 15/4,5; 28/2,8; 50/2 Apo Lanthar; 90/2.8 Apo skopar; 180/4 Apo Lanthar. I sold the Leica Super Elmar 21/3.4 because, although it was excellent, I never used it. I actually also have two old Leica lenses: 90/4 collapsible and 135/4 (fantastic for portraits). Already with the M11P I had made settings in order to optimize the use of Digital Crop and Perspective Control. Here the thing is even easier thanks to the front controls available with the former frame lever which can be set on two distinct commands: maf help and crop level selection. For sensor quality see M11P. As mentioned in the comments of the M11P, I went back to Leica to reduce weight, volume and have perspective control on board the camera. I find it very convenient to combine the use of Voigtlander prime lenses (which don't have the prestige of Leica, but the optical quality equals it, at a fraction of the cost) and digital cropping. The 28/2.8 Color Skopar II is a 107 gram jewel !!!! with which you also get a 35 and a 50, using only the central part of its shooting field. With the 28 and 50 set you have 6 lenses: 28(60Mp), 35(38Mp), 50(18Mp), 50(60Mp), 75(38Mp) and 90(18Mp), with a total weight of only 1100 grams. If, on the other hand, I use the 28 and 90 set I get up to a focal length of 162 with only 997 grams. Another reason to use the M11 series is perspective control: after 35 years of tilt-shift lenses (28PC Nikkor and then Laowa 20 oD Shift) with the M11 I can have propstic control over every lens from 15 to 90. I agree with the criticism that the optical CP of a tilt-shift lens is better than a digital emulation, but in terms of comfort and weight, there is no contradiction.
