Thoughts on what Leica needs to do to improve the M rangefinder camera

Thoughts on what Leica needs to do to improve the M rangefinder camera

By John Ricard, a NYC based portrait photographer (websiteInstagram)

I filmed a video detailing the changes Leica should make in order for the M10 to be a better event camera. My video was inspired by one posted by Nathan Wright here on the Leica Rumors forum a few days ago.
