[Leica] The rangefinder is back! - Olympus EP-1

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I'm ok with cameras like that I loved using a D-lux I have a great set of
Progressive Lenses parked on my nose. I hold the camera not all the way out
but just a few inches from my face. Or wherever I want it to be.
Can't wait to get a DSLR with this feature.
