It's a jewel of a camera. I got it last week after much hesitation, mostly about the cost. It rained over the weekend and I work so I didn't get to use it until today. I took about 20 shots before I lost the light. It is really a pleasure to use and I look forward to a long collaboration.
The shutter sounds quieter with film loaded and when you are outside and not in a still camera store.
film loading will take getting used to , but I think I did the first roll ok.
I can't wait to see the results!
After almost a roll, I can tell that my other cameras are not going to get as much usage as in the past, I might have to have a garage sale...

Congratulations, and you will find the cost of ownership to be very low indeed. Having film in the camera and a lens on the front really makes a difference with respect to the shutter sound. What focal length are you using to begin with?

I got the 50 2.0 Summicron.
The multiple frame lines are a little confusing at first, but I can see the advantage of having the out of frame world visible

You'll forget the framelines after some usage. same thing with having to adjust the shutter speed/aperture. It all becomes second nature, which is how you want it. Congratulations!

Congratulations. I just bought a black paint MP .85x last week, too! I share in your enthusiasm and joy. Strangely, I prefer shooting my 35s with a higher magnification finder; I believe my preference is based on the focusing accuracy.

That is the key to RF shooting, being able to see outside of the frame through the VF.
