You have essentially described one more in an already too long list of battery dependent cameras. What you are asking for is a manual focus (M bayonet mount) Contax G2. Why? I would never ever want my M camera to be like my G camera. If Leica ever decides to make something as horrible as you described I only hope and pray they continue making the M6 for the rest of us. I do not want motors. In the viewfinder I want... well I want the view. I do not want numbers, characters, flashing lights, buzzers, needles, or lightening bolts. The M6 has all the flash in the finder I care to tolerate. Don
