Why can't we shoot digital the same way we shot film? Blind and hoping we got something. This mindlessness represents a low for Leica which I never thought they'd stoop to as there were guys on chat lists when digital was first taking over who complained about the monitor display of the M8 and DSLR's and the apparent stupidity of those who used them referring to it as "chimping". God forbid we should know whether we got the shot or not. They blazed on with Tri X in D 76 1:1 determined to never change and not clog their minds up with useless ideas of the present and future. It's a digital camera made especially for those with no interest in digital photography whatsoever. In the end it will be a way for collectors to made money making smart trades to to sharpen up their camera collections. It has zero use in modern digital photography and is patently ridiculous. Leica needs to stop reading chat lists for ideas on camera bodies to come out with. Just because some idiot mentions it on a chat list doesn't mean they have to come out with one.
