Hi guys

Finally I am also an owner of a Leica M system. My coworker was selling his M4-2 (also in the classifieds here) with a Zeiss Planar 50mm F2 ZM.

I bought it!

Definitely had to sell alot of other stuff and still am selling a couple of things, but it's worth the plunge. I took my first walk with it and to me it's perfect. I am sure there are even better camera's like an M6 or so.. but this is the best film camera I have ever owned so you can imagine what it feels like to me.

Congratulations, it will only get better........

Yes I sold the Hexar. I wasn't really happy with it. Not to sure why not, but I really wanted a mechanical forward winder and not an automated electronic one. It's weird, but everytime I pressed the shutter and the film automatically instantly winded forwardly, I got this feeling that that forwardwinding sound was the lens focussing. I know it may sound silly but to me it was frustrating, I never knew when I really took the shot.

When I used my Canonet QL17 I felt so much more at ease shooting. The entire set of motions, pressing shutter, hearing the shutter click, winding forward with my fingers.. it all made more sense to me. I guess thats why I really wanted a Leica. For the true feel of using a mechanical camera.
