Now what I would really love to see is that a Chinese manufacturer copies some of Leica's rangefinder cameras. Maybe not as first digital versions but already some film camera knock-offs would be great. Imagine a M6 copy for less than $500....
The problem with that is you can already buy the genuine article for $500. And the reason it is so cheap is because people like to have rangefinders to focus with! The LLL version will be more expensive than getting a Leica.
Here’s mine:
It basically collects dust because I never use it. There is nothing it can do that an M or LTM rangefinder camera cannot do. But those can accurately focus which this cannot unless you just use a wide angle lens and let DOF take care if things.
