Some of us are forgetting that The IIIG and F may not be shooting
cameras in the modern sense;
But they are works of art and exquisite compact engineering which the
modern Bessa and so on are not.

Much of it has to do with the level of compactness.
The Leica thread mount cameras are pocketable. They are with you to get
an occasional shot.
The other modern cameras never got around to remembering the importance
of pocketibility.

Barnaks first design parameter I'd bet.
