Congrats Frank - it truly is a great little camera. I'd go so far as to say that if you don't enjoy it as much as I think you will, I'll even meet you at the airport, and present you with a bare bottom, target rings and bulls-eye painted on, ready to go. Make sure you've got some extra grotty hobnail boots :-) seriously, it grow on you more and more. Also - it's *not* an M series camera. I know that sounds daft, but wondering about with it, you don't feel that it has a stigma attached to it as the (say) M6 does. People gawp less, it attracts less attention, and so lends itself beautifully to street. You will have loads of fun. If only Leica had joined forces with Pentax on that one instead of Minolta. The focus takes a moment to get used to, but from then on, it's great. No shutter lock, but when I wind on, I'm serious ;-) Good luck with it and have fun. You will.
