A huge amount of photography being done with such cameras as the Leica D lux
and c lux it's Panasonic counterparts and five other brands versions.
Most people don't look thought the viewfinders.
I know someone who is an engineer who shoots all her stuff with the D lux
and the 16:9 format.
These are elegant photographic solutions. Very workable.
On the LUG months ago I said "give me one which takes M glass".
An M lux.
Would sell like hotcakes.
An expression which was around around 1705.

I don't need a viewfinder.
