Leica M EV1: A New Era of Leica M (hands on review)

This is the new Leica M EV1. It’s exactly what it says on the tin – a Leica M body, but with an EVF instead of the classic rangefinder system. I’ve been using the M EV1 for about a week and wanted to share my honest first impressions, what it’s actually like to shoot with, and how it fits into the M lineup. We’ll cover: How the M EV1 compares to the M11 and M11-P Who this camera is really for The new firmware update (and that much-improved white balance) Real-world experience using the EVF Price, handling, and whether it’s worth it If you’re curious about what it’s like to finally use an M with an EVF – or you’ve been on the fence about the M system, hopefully this gives you a clear, no-nonsense look at it.
