I?m absolutely not enthousiast with this Leica, in my opinion or at least for me it is a non sense camera. It will be long explain my reasons, but basically I think the photographer shall frame with the lens it has according to his visualization of the scene, beside this the angles of perspective, preserving the correct proportions for a portrait or a street scene, the lines ?. will not work properly. This look to me like a pixels game?.
