I'm sorry micampe, but that's total crap. As the parent comment said, Leica cameras are very much designed to be used, they were the photojournalist's top choice for decades. Recessed dials is moronic. If Ive can't design a Leica that can actually be functional then it doesn't speak very highly for his product design skills.

If you had used a Leica M you wouldn't be spouting such nonsense about f/8 and hyperfocal.

the H5D? that bears not a single resemblance to a Leica M (non digital), it's a digital, autofocus medium format SLR, as opposed to a film, manual focus, 35mm rangefinder.

A competent photographer would get that shot using either an M or H5D, it's the amateurs with no idea that miss shots.
