The first M-series Leica to drop the rangefinder entirely in favour of a built-in EVF — a genuinely divisive move for a system built around rangefinder focusing, but one that opens up ultra-wide and long M-mount lenses that were always awkward to frame through a rangefinder window. Still manual focus only, still no video, still a considered, deliberate way to shoot.
