I purchased a Leica M EV1 last week. Originally I was going to trade my M11 for it but at the last minute decided I would go ahead and just buy the EV1 and see how I got on with it before I traded in my M11. In the week since, from what I have experienced so far, I am not going to trade in my M11 because actually I realised the pro's of both rather than the pro's and cons of each. I will use my M11 just with a 35 or 50 mm lens and not a Noctilux and I will use the EV1 for anything wider than 35 m, which in my case is 21 and 16mm and Noctilux's. The EVF is really only for me a game changer when using the shallow depth of field or extra wide angle and that is where it excels. An M11 rangefinder with a 35mm FLE lens is still an unbeatable combination but I love the EV1 for making the exteme investments in Noctilux glass all the more worthwhile, because now with the EV1 you have an M body that gives you confidence to use Noctilux's. Frankly before it was challenging to say the least.
