>>3954388>It has to be something that is shit for shit reasonsIsn’t that exactly what a digital rangefinder is?
There is no real reason for that combination to exist. Focus peaking is a much better manual focusing aid, and you no longer need a big, clunky mirror to see through the lens. There is no parallax and no reason to limit yourself to primes.
I’ll grant you that the Fuji X-Pro viewfinders are a bit silly, but at least they have an EVF with modern features when you want them. The Leica M is just gimped for the sake of being gimped.
Leica should have just made a full frame version of the CL and let people with old M lenses use an adapter. It would have been no worse as a fashion accessory, but infinitely better as a camera.
