It would be a quick path to madness to try and include them all.

Leica viewfinder update#
I’ll be continuing to update this tool and over the next few months, hope to add alternate starting points including frameline selection, max shutter speed, construction (purely mechanical vs varying degrees of electronics), etc. It starts from the same point I did - asking if you need a light meter - and goes from there. At the very least, I hope it points you in the right direction based. This interactive tool will hopefully allow you to find the perfect Leica M - or an M-mount film camera from another manufacturer - for your specific needs.
