The Contax G1 and G2 were autofocus rangefinder cameras of very high quality with superb optics and cost a pittance compared to the Leica M's, and they were an abysmal failure in the marketplace. I have one, if anyone is interested. IMHO, Leica will not market an autofocus rangefinder camera as an M model. With practice, the excellent focusing on all Leica RF's are consistently more accurate and nearly as fast as an AF without the attendant motor noise of the focusing mechanism.

I think we should separate into two groups; M9 believers and M9 unbelievers. Mutual persecution should then follow, with a committment to brainwash our children and attack the beliefs of our neighbours. I then suggest intimidation, arson attacks and forcible evictions. Afterwards we can have trials to sort out whether any of it was justified. :D

 

Or we can be nice :)

Too bad there aren't more Leica users, or this would have the potential to develop into a very interesting worldwide conflagration. And sadly, it has more basis in reality than some issues that get entire populations frothing at the mouth.

Then it won't be an M. It's simple. M stands for (sic)mesucher; rangefinder.

 

Well, actually Messsucher means "measuring finder" - both functions through one finder, as opposed to the screwmount Leicas, which had separate rangefinder and viewfinder windows/optical paths. They were also rangefinder cameras, but not "Messsucher" (M) cameras.

 

The Contax G cameras were rangefinders. They set focus by measuring (finding) the distance (range) to the subject. They did it without aid from the human eye, which distinguishes them from Leica RFs of any type.
