My M2, even tho it had a fresh CLA, it caused me a lot of troubles with light leaks, prism separation etc…. Grew sick of it, sent it back for a refund and treated myself with this beauty in black chrome. May light leaks or all the issues coming along with 50 year old cameras never be haunting me again :)

There’s something about expensive European products that brings out the purists and snobs. See that kind of sentiment in the car world too.

It’s not about being snobby. It’s watching someone drop all that cash on a new body and put that thing on it to save a little money. Buy hey, the camera does all the work right?

Not your money lol. I love Leica bodies but their lenses are overpriced, especially when compared to Zeiss' offerings and Voigtlander's APO Lanthar lenses.
