[Leica] REASONS why Leica is so slow with M

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Geoff,

Does the M require an accessory EVF?  My last Leica was an M3, and it was
pretty simple.  Line up the split rangefinder and click.  Do the M8/M9/M
have electronic instead of the old optical rangefinders?  As you might well
guess, I am out of touch with the digital world except for DSLR's.  Also
watch out for spiders, as your odds don't look that great.

Ken

This state of uncertainty already exists for my  Typ 240. I have my lenses,
I have the RRS base plate for my tripod work, I have a new Softie from Tom A
for the shutter release and I have the Olympus EVF but the camera I have
not.

An Australian is also statistically more likely to have died from Funnel Web
Spider poison in Australia than have received an M typ 240...or a dead cat
in a box.
