Some of the unique qualities of the rangefinder-type camera relate to the 
direct 
relationship between photographer and subject, the continuity of viewing 
through 
the moment of exposure, and the miniscule time-lag between seeing the moment 
and 
capturing it - no mirrors, blind spot or shutter lag. Now we are to 
interpose 
monitors and histograms into this formula? Surely this goes against the 
whole 
philosophy of the rangefinder experience.
