I have often thought the pellicle as an answer to the inability of the normal DSLR to host a live picture on the LCD, or better yet on a monitor. That would make production shooting a joy. I have an RT, and I think it is the best answer for an M shooter to use long focal length lenses. Quiet, relatively compact, and you see the imagge with no blackout.
