The built in Lightroom gimmick hurts it instead of helping it. If they would have just made that camera more like the Leica Q2, it may have had a chance.

I'm more disappointed by the digital rangefinder Zenit which also seemed to be near-vaporware, it was much more compelling to me.

It's a shame Zeiss didn't capitalise on its legacy glass and bodies. All they needed was a simple ikon m rangefinder and sensor in it, and instead they tried to be smart and compete with the Leica Q. Idiots...

It looked really clunky but I give them an A for effort. It would be nice to have more risk-takers like this but the market is so consolidated I don't know how many more truly daring cameras we'll get to see again.

Remember when Tesla was a pipe dream. Anything can happen. Remember before Sony got serious about cameras. Anything can happen.

It seems Zeiss has bigger fish to fry. Their ultra-flat mirrors are a key component in the latest and greatest chip-making machines.

Should have kept it simple, there's a lot to be said for that especially when their lenses have always been and still are so good.
