How long until chinese manufacturers get the balls to make an actual chinese M-mount camera?

Seems like there are new chinese M-mount lenses released every week these days.

Leica patents have been up for decades now, there's nothing stopping them

Simple lack of demand versus the demand for M mount adapters for other cameras

If they did, it would have to be an MILC or SLR. People just don’t want real larpfinders.

Patents are never a problem for the chink
It's the fact that they don't wanna cannibalize leica sales as it's partner

>all of china is partnered with leica
It’s mostly because they don’t make one if they can’t sell two.

Light Lens Lab is working on some sort of digital camera. Apparently they're developing the sensor itself too. My bet is they're trying to make a Barnack style Leica, probably not a full-on M. I'd love to be surprised though!

God, why can't someone make an Epson R-D2 with a modern BSI sensor. Fuckkkkkk.

Cheats have been copying s*** since day zero. Before them it was the japanese, except the Japanese copies like the very early handsome cameras which became Canon we're actually pretty good.

But it also takes great Optics to make a camera work and so far I've seen from Chinese companies is their Optics are second grade at best.

Both Viltrox and Laowa make some really sharp lenses. Theyre just as good as Sony GMs, Canon Ls etc.

He's right, they're just as sharp.
Other aberrations aren't as well corrected for. None of which matter except to pixel peeping faggots.
