I do think using a 24x36mm rangefinder camera as if its a larger format
camera for landscapes is not all that common other places or here. Its
something one can do with a Leica rangefinder camera - I've done it its just
not its first thing its really designed to do or what the Leica M system is
known for and has a brilliant track record in dong. --- as a street camera
in the film days with 400 films or above and now in the digital days with
the Leica M coming out will be above that those speeds (iso 1600)
As a result I do think we'll go from seeing pretty much no to shooters using
Leica digital M's to the fair niche market share it had in the the film
90's.
