On the verge of purchasing a Typ 020 until I read this thread...

 

My intention is to use the EVF to improve focusing hit rate. Can someone comment if it'll be helpful with focusing the Nocti vs using the RF?

 

I have both the Q and Hasselblad X1D, so if anyone could kindly compare the 020 EVF with these two, I could better understand its performance. I had lots of fun shooting the Nocti 50 and the APO 50 on my X1D; I wonder if it'll be a similar experience with the EVF.

 

Thanks in advance!

Probably expediency. Leica had it "on the shelf" and available, maybe they were too lazy to make something better or maybe the financial returns of developing a new one didn't appear to be worth the cost when put against the probable sale numbers.

 

That they did it is not an issue, or confusing. I was happy, as I had a Visoflex 020 already, for my T, so yay.

 

Just wondering if they can make a Visoflex 040 with better resolution and refresh.

 

Not laziness. Leica does not develop their own EVFs. Like the M240, it probably was the best accessory EVF available at the time that the camera design parameters wers set, which, by now, is something like five years ago.

Yes it definitely will improve focus accuracy. Its just not as stellar and lag free as the Q for example. But it doesnt need to be to get the job done, its just doesnt feel quite as nice during the process.

 

That is how I see it.
