I am greatly enjoying using the Leica M10. For me, it is the nicest handling digital M yet. I like taking wide-angle shots at vintage and classic car shows with some of my favourite lenses such as the 16-18-21mm Wide Angle Tri-Elmar (WATE) and the 24mm Elmar. At the recent Irish Classic and Vintage Motor Show I gave both of these lenses an outing on the M10. I tested both lenses in advance with the 'Frankenfinder' optical multi-finder and 'Visoflex' EVF for the M10 and I decided to go with the optical finder as the frame-lines enabled framing to avoid too many other spectators getting in the photos. My favourite combination was, in fact, the 24mm Elmar with the optical finder which has a setting for 24mm lenses. I like the EVF, but I prefer rangefinder focussing and also the use of frame-lines for wide-angle shots, so the EVF stayed in the bag for the car show. An article showing some photos taken with the M10 at the car show is here: http://macfilos.com/photo/2017/7/17/leica-m10-meets-the-motoring-stars-of-yesteryear I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used the WATE or 24mm Elmar with either the 'Frankenfinder' or the EVF on the M10.

I am looking to buy a wide angle lens for my M and the 24mm focal length seems to fit what I have in mind. However, I do not want an EVF or finder attached to the camera. I have read other posts here and know that many people do not rely on a finder with this lens. And, especially with estimating the view and the further option of using live view, I'm thinking it might work out fine. I'm just wondering if some "non finder users" can comment on their experience and their success or failure (or happiness or frustration!) using this "approximating approach." (I'm considering the new Elmar or used Elmarit, by the way. Not the Summilux...too large for my taste.) Thanks much!
