...let's see,  I have other gear that does long lenses better than Leica (M 
can never work with 400 f2.8 lenses) and I have now have a choice for .58, 
.72 and .85 viewfinders to match specific lenses. Although I never use it I 
have the option of TTL and auto metering.

Doesn't seem limited to me.
