And that with the 35/1.0 "kit" lens!  I wonder how far the lens barrel will protrude into the viewfinder frame!   :o :o :o

by the way, it will cost just as much as a Leica :o :o :o

why?? how!? go figure.

they want to kill themselves probably.

if it were around the $3000 I would probably consider it

But it is made by Leica, so it would be curious if the cost was hugely lower. The price does include a 35/1.0 lens which to me makes it like a bargain, at least if the lens is good.

I think you can, if it works with all Leica M bodies and mirrorless cameras by other brands via adapters.

Very surprising development, did not expect this,,,
The 35mm f/1 is an remarkable achievement and just goes to prove that a fast lens doesn't need a large mount as such,,, ;)
Pricing is very affordable compared to a Noctilux!!!
