While the corner-placed viewfinder is quickly becoming a popular design for its mix of retro charm and compact form factor, few companies make a true rangefinder like Leica. But Leica’s newest addition to the M series isn’t technically a rangefinder. The Leica M EV1 is the M series’ first camera with an electronic viewfinder instead of an optical rangefinder.
Much of the specs on the Leica M EV1 read the same as the Leica M11-P, including the 60MP full frame sensor and M-mount. But what’s unusual about the EV1 is that it ditches Lecia’s longstanding rangefinder viewfinder for the electronic type commonly found on many mirrorless cameras.
