Leica M EV1 Is the First M Camera Without an Optical Rangefinder

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Leica has discontinued the standard M11 and replaced it with the M EV1, a full M-series body that drops the optical rangefinder entirely in favour of a built-in EVF. It's the first M camera without the mechanical viewfinder in the line's seventy-year history, and it now sits as the entry point into the current M11 generation.
