Invariably, this ruins their photo taking ergonomics. If however compactness is all I care about, then why don’t I just rely on my iPhone or carry around a compact camera like the Contax T2 - which I did for over ten years? Unfortunately, both the iPhone and Contax T2 do not have full manual controls where actual knobs and dials should be. For the sake of compactness, I am willing to forgo the prospect of accurate through-the-lens framing, autofocus, and spot metering. That said, Leica optics are remarkably precise for their size. In short, they are inferior to (D)SLRs and mirrorless cameras. And if it weren’t for the fact that rangefinders are compact, I wouldn’t opt for a Leica M-mount camera. They’re antiquated, whether we’re talking about film or digital rangefinders. They’re not particularly accurate to frame, don’t have autofocus, and cannot do spot metering through the viewfinder. For the most part, I believe there is much to dislike about rangefinders. You might not believe me, but I do not particularly find Leica rangefinders to be the best cameras around.
