Yes - I have several M Leica's. They are GREAT cameras! I've been shooting (and trading) Leica's since 1976. The "Leica feel" is legendary, and yes, I'd say it's the Mercedes of cameras. The range finder is different - you get used to it, then miss it with other camera types. You can see what's mov

with mint nikkormats selling for $75 on ebay, it's hard to go spend leica money for an old school camera. the only rangefinder i've ever used was a german made graflex and i never came to like it. jaime is big into the cheap voigtlanders, but i don't like his either. I also used to shoot a lot o
