Subject: [Leica] Chills on the lack of the OVF on.. *Olympus* E-P1

The Olympus Olympus* E-P1 is basically a rangefinder camera design at least
shape.
The Panasonic G1 is an SLR. DLSR.
Its two different approaches to what used to be 35mm photography.
Now its digital cameras that size


Though an SLR can be made pocketable look at the Olympus Pen Ft
And a rangefinder can be made not pocketable look at a Leica M.


But in their more typical forms an SLR is bit of a clunker where a
rangefinder would be a more elegant compact solution.

Leica has for years had both the M and R.
There should not be any wars going on on approaches.
On the LUG our mindsets should easily encompass both.
