It amazes me that there has been so much interest in rangefinders over the last 5 years or so, especially given the ascendency of digital cameras of all kinds. Honestly, I can't imagine what Zeiss are thinking by introducing a complete RF system. If one were to read B.D.'s posts in the last year alone, you'd assume that all film cameras - never mind the market-fringe-dwelling RFs - should all be assigned to the industrial age rubbish heap. I still maintain that there is a market for a compact, yet high performance digital RF system. I'm damn tired of carrying around the 1Ds on my travels. I miss so many shots because it's not to hand all the time, like my M6 used to be.
