[Leica] Live view and TTL "m"

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

Thanks; The Alpa solution is like an electronic version of a Leica 12025

What I would like is a bluetooth connected or even a mini usb teather to a
camera's live view.

That would help me overcome some mobility issues, and give me angles
currently unavailable.
