It has helped me to see perfectly on the view finder what my composition is and it has changed my ability for better construction of my images. So yes ....changed my photography abilities in to a better way.
 
No. RF cameras did interest me in shooting film again. The size and handling of RF cameras made me get rid of my DSLR gear and was an influence in my decision to go with u4/3 gear. My current camera feels very RF like to me even though I use focus peaking instead of rangefinder focusing. The ability to use some of my M and LTM lenses with full manual exposure just add to the experience. With apologies to FrankS and some others, I do enjoy digital. 😱
