There are ones who only use a Leica IIf and "meter? what the heck is that?" to people who use the Canon 1DMkII with their R lenses, and everyone in between.

OTOH, once you actually shoot with the darn thing, there is very little to improve upon in a Rangefinder system (e.g. any improvement means going outside the RF world).
