Leica LTM I have to get a screwmount

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Have you considered a Rollei 35 ?

Think about it: it has everything you want plus brightline in the viewfinder and meter, a great lens, is smaller and certainly more robust than a Fed. And probably will be cheaper than getting a working Barnack or copy with finder. They came in black too.
Plus one for the Rollei 35. Do your research, and you could getr it cheap!
 
To give you an idea of the relative size, here's a Leica IIIc and a Rollei 35. I took this combination on a 4-day trek in the Sierra Nevadas in August, and it was perfect. Makes a great combination for general travel, too.

If you're really broke, I recommend this camera. It can be had for $25,
or even $5 at a thrift store and takes wonderful, sharp images.

+1. An indispensable pocket cam, and punches well above its weight in terms of image quality.

Hi,

I'd parked the car and saw this. I only had the Zorki 1 with me and it had the standard lens on it. I used the Sunny 16 rule for the exposure and the scan came off of a cheap CD from the lab that I use for cataloguing the pictures.

It shows what a nice lens/outfit you can get for very little money.

Regards, David
