No, it is not.
Try using a zoom and seeing what's going on outside
of the frame. With an SLR you cannot compare, in the
same viewfinder and at the same time, more than one
focal length. Also, you must have a lens attached
with an SLR - that is not necessary with the Leica,
so you can place a lensless camera to your eye, move
the frame selector lever, and decide which lens is
best for your vision of the scene, and then mount
the appropriate lens.
I'm not suggesting that the rangefinder method is
"better" than an SLR, just trying to help you, and
others interested in this, what the differences are.
