I don't think there will be "disappointment" among M users/fans - you simply continue what you are using - the M rangefinder. Some M users might see the EV1 as step up especially those who have eyesight problems which might be overcome with the EVF and diopter change option. But since the focusing seems to provide no step up from traditional EVF based focus technology, the EV1 will occupy a niche market within the M user group.
I own 2 M bodies M-11P/M11M- I am beyond disappointed.
This shows a complete lack of innovation and a 9K money grab from Leica-
It’s a flat out JOKE at this point......There better be a firmware update today saying just kidding, we actually did innovate and put in a world class newly designed MF aid to take the Leica M into the next 100 years.
Unrealistic expectations are on you and me.. not Leica. We were not the target audience. They produced a camera without spending much money on development and I suspect that they are looking for a very small niche audience.
