maybe this sounds a little picky, but the only thing that I don't like about this camera is that the propotions of the framelines are a bit off when set on infinity. 6x7 gets a bit "square-ish" and 6x6 looks a bit "rectangular-ish".
they are correct when set to about 3m and get off in the other direction when moving towards the near-limit.
it seems that's because the upper frameline is moving slower than the left one when focussing.
I find this is a bit dissapointing - especially when shooting almost exclusive "infinity-objects". but otherwise: great camera!

Yep! Definitely a little picky.
If you're looking for the sort of precision you seem to imply would satisfy you, you shouldn't be using ANY rangefinder.

I don't care that much about precision and I'm fully aware of the fact that the framelines never exactly show what's going to be on the picture, but seeing the "correct" picture-format pretty much helps "pre-visualising".
the makina 67(0) and fuji GW(S)670/690 all have these growing and shrinking framelines (in opposite to the leicas that only move the whole fixed frame) and they don't change the format/proportions at all.
but I will get used to it.
