I am sure it would not take many rides to knock the rangefinder out of alignment. Plus for my cycling photos I need a zoom since I am restricted to what I can photograph from the edge of the road. This is why the tiny Panasonic GM5 is so brilliant?tiny, good image quality, and the camera plus the 12-32 and 35-100 zoom lenses all fit into one Domke insert in my handlebar bag.
