Hell has frozen over: A Leica M with out the ‘M’ the EV1

Leica M. The last of the rangefinders. Able to compose and see things coming into the frame, capturing that decisive moment. M stands for Messsucher, which is German for rangefinder. This has always been what has defined the Leica M cameras until today.

There are advantages to modern EVF’s, focusing modern fast glass is hard to focus, parallax issues are gone, you can see your exposure in the viewfinder, preview focus and depth of field, plus your not limited to the supported frame lines so can use wider and longer lens.

Is it an M, well it’s not a rangefinder, but is rangefinder styled and for users of M glass maybe a good option.
