About Leica Users - yes I admit I don´t understand them. I have some friends who repeatedly tried to convert me, but I am probably to "practical" "technical" or whatever to understand the value for the money.
I used the M240 for 2 weeks recently for testing and I really liked the sensor quality and the lenses, but again - for me the rangefinder is nearly worthless.
In my article(and on Brian Hirschfields page where I also wrote review about that) I asked why Leica would not make something like an M-mini without the rangefinder, without the glitches described here and at a better pricepoint.
That is apparently built by Sony now and it´s called A7, the A7r is even going further and taking the large volume, massproduction for an unbeatable MPix for the money ratio.
I am just interpolating the idea of Leica competing with this and running into a 2-3x price gap and then all the other stuff I wrote seem logical to me.
But of course logics are not everything.....
