Interesting discussion. Thank you. 

Sometimes I think that some people buy the M cameras for totally bizarre reasons: to show off their (relative) wealth, because the digital M cameras are the most expensive little full frame digital cameras, because M lenses are so small and cute and jewelry like etc. 

If I still understand those you want a hybrid viewfinder, I find it strange to desire an M camera with the M mount but without a reliable way to focus those precious lenses effectively. And it takes not so much effort to learn how to use the rangefinder.

Maybe you will persuade Leica to make such a camera for the vocal minority . Let it be a very limited and expensive to ignite the desire of those who cannot live without the rangefinder-less M. 

Sorry, I am Russian and we are known to be rude.

I've never met a rude Russian (yet, & you're not so), thankfully Ah!  Why purchase a Leica M, whether film or digital (no matter), and those "precious jewels," Leica lenses?

Pictures, snaps, moments all created uncluttered, should you use it, through the OVF...  Like my Russian sable watercolor brushes, Leica, at its best, feels good in hand, and stays out of my way (read: my prior knowledge of photography, or the "brush":) )... Yes, _I_ make the picture, not the camera... couldn't, nor wouldn't blame the tool... as for "software:" please your self.

in uniton,

You don't have to be an oligarch to afford a Leica.

You need a decent job. 

You then may no longer keep pace with your buddies buying cars, iPhones or other toys. 

But you need basic skills in photography rather than just the money.

The Achilles' heel of the Leica M.
