Another leaked image confirms a patch window, likely serving as a focusing aid. Still feels strange seeing a Leica M with no front viewfinder window.
Frame selector switch
Interesting that it appears to have that switch (possibly serving a different function) which wasn't visible in the earlier leaked image.
Yeah, I noticed that too ... but, I went as far as to count the "diamonds" above the switch, and it might be that the earlier picture is angled so the lens is blocking the switch. +1 for different function potential. Trying to noodle what would be a good use case for it. I'm thinking view magnification (kinda what the frame lines are framing), or
But, the more I look at the one, the more I think it is a mockup. Lighting shadows seem softer under the front view, and (not sure) the shadow under the back view seems more acute.
