to sandy's remark:
i doubt anyone is truly fond of rangefinder focus per se.
Speaking for myself, what I find appealing in this context is only the resulting smaller size of the body. Inherent RF side effects, like reduced size framelines, small and fixed viewer field of view, inaccuracy of framelines and focus distance, RF adjustment and lens matching, not WYSIWYG, etc. are huge negatives however.
now if they could come up with a focus scheme that measured off the sensor (manual would be fine, with a confirmation dot), much of the focusiing side effects would go away and i could more easily live with the remaining viewing issues
