Well, Canon has LED projected focus indicators on their EOS SLRs, so I can't see why you can't have LED projected zoom framelines in a M-style rangefinder. Leica already has the technology to project the exposure indicator, so it's just a small stretch to project four corners of a frameline that moves. This would allow for true parallax compensation and field size change. What I like about the Leica M series is that I'm seeing the world, not the world projected onto a frosty piece of glass, or worse, on a small TV screen.
