So much for Me?sucher! With LV and a good EVF, you solve the problem with imprecise frameline, as well front/back focus problem. Of course it loses the outside-the-frame experience of a true Me?sucher, but this is progress to most people. The other thing is that it looks to me that Leica will finally provide a tethering solution for studio use. And they manage not to jack up the price any further. The worst thing about the camera is the name. How are you going to google "Leica M" without getting hit about the M series dated from M3? -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
