For photographers who want ultimate control and quality - this has got to be the best of the Leica M series. Superbly made and intuitively engineered, everything falls to hand where it should be. The large, bright viewfinder - the best ever produced by Leica - is a joy to use, and focussing with the rangefinder is as quick as with an slr. If you think digital full format has the edge on 35mm., maybe it's time to think again! With a high-resolution film such as Fuji Velvia or Kodak Ektar, the Summicron lens is capable of extraordinary results. It still sets the benchmark for 35mm work. If you're worried about manual exposure, look for the dedicated leicameter that fits on top of the camera and syncs with the shutter dial - it's easy to use and very accurate. Don't use an alkaline equivalent to the old mercury cell in these leicameters, it will give you inaccurate readings - get the zinc-air battery replacement. Leica afficionados need no telling about the M3, but my experience is that it lives up to its legendary status, and I have been a professional stock photographer and have used them all!Read full review
The classic Leica M6, black or silver, so well made, a joy to hold and use.
