Short but cool video. Watching this reminded me why I still use a Rangefinder.

Enjoy

I won't comment on the video.

Pretty much everything he said can be an argument turned around against the Leica M. Any modern mirrorless camera will be just as discreet as the M, as I can attest for using Fuji, Panasonic and Sony ILCs for the past few years. Having everything in focus is a boon for moderate apertures, but when using very fast lenses I find myself limited by the total in-focus nature of the RF window, and sometimes blur/not blur objects to the detriment of the image.

Still, very nice video and his pictures are good. While I would never shoot any optical viewfinder body as a main work camera, a Leica M would be a great backup...
