That is way kewl.
Ironic that Leica said, "The M platform can't do digital. It'll take us four years to do a digital rangefinder!" I think that it was four years, anyway - it was some god-for-saken figure like that.
Whatever Leica said, Cosina trumped them big time on this one, eh? They're already making m-mount lenses that are impressing all but the finickiest of Leicaphiles, at a fraction of the price of German glass. Now this. Hmmm....
cheers, frank

Well, we don't really know, do we, although I'd tend to think that Epson/Cosina wouldn't mislabel the function. I looked at the angles and wondered the same as you ... I guess we'll just have to wait for some more information to be absolutely certain about the features and functions of the camera. Perhaps a full review will be forthcoming.
