>>3193845> you must be completely retarded to not think Fuji's entire system is a leica copy. No... I think you're the one who's an idiot here.
There's a lot less design language similarity between Fuji and Leica as there is between, say, Canon and Nikon and Pentax and Sony DSLRs, and between Fuji, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic mirrorless cameras. There's a few styles of cameras that have proven the test of time to be good designs, and Leica and Fuji both use that same sort of overall "generic rangefinder" style. Fuji didn't steal any of the very distinctly Leica design cues, like the circle-rounded edges, or the round viewfinder eyecup, or even the control setup. The only way you can say they're Leica copies is by saying, hey, there's a lens on the front and a viewfinder on the back left and controls on the camera body. Whoop-de-fucking-shit, that's also how every non-SLR-style camera body in the world is laid out, and very few of those are Leica copies either.
> even the lens map / design is a copy of leica.Again, only if you're looking so shallowly as to say "Round lenses with an aperture ring around the barrel", which also means that Pentax, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Samsung, and just about every other lens manufacturer in the world before everything started going all-electronic is a Leica copy. Even the lenses that came before leica was founded, since large format lenses tend to have that same layout.
