The rangefinder is barrely an obligation (who want to focus on the rear screen ?) Still, I am waiting for such a good surprise at the Photokina.

I expect that any smaller digital Leica body will be made by a Japanese company, just as the CL was. This camera body seems a little wider than a Leica CL, but has the right overall feel.

Since this is a m4/3 camera, I don't think it would have much use (sensor is locked to 4x3). Still it look real purty.

The text on the body doesn't fit perspective-wise. And they don't make much sense. I thought the lever around the shutter release was a meter pattern selector like old R bodies, but then the icons don't fit. The on/off behind the shutter release don't make any sense. There's no lever pointing to either one.<br /><br />All in all an obvious fake. But it sure looks nice overall! It’s obviously a fake. The text on the body doesn’t fit perspective-wise.
