I love photography and photographic equipment. Rangefinder cameras especially hold a special place in my heart. It may very well be because of the build quality and straight forward logical placement of controls mixed harmoniously with the boxy design that seems impossibly comfortable, yet somehow is. Or rather, it may be the historical heritage and design of a rangefinder that appeal to me. All rangefinder styled cameras vary ergonomically, and authentically styled like a real traditional rangefinder. No camera that doesn't have a real rangefinding viewfinder can actually be considered an authentic rangefinder. However, the viewfinder isn't the only part of a rangefinder that gives it that designation. Its size, styling, control surfaces and ergonomics, all play a role in the "rangefinder" branding. By all intents and purposes the LC1 is my pseudo Leica M camera.  I'm dreaming a bit here... but it certainly seems it would handle like one.
