[Leica] If you could add only 1 feature.....

[Frank Dernie]

A zooming viewfinder is one thing.
A zooming accurate rangefinder otoh is something else entirely...
It would probably more than double the manufacturing cost of the camera.
Electronics = cheap, and getting cheaper.
Precision mechano-optical engineering = very expensive indeed.
Sadly.

I would like autofocus, but realise that is not feasible on the M line.
