Just for the heck of it I tried the ala carte configurator. Over $6,000 for my M7! That's a huge price increase over what I paid for mine. BTW, A mode for me all the time unless I'm using the M3.

No matter what I do, I cannot seem to like the M7. A quick google reveals far too many people complaining about something related to that camera.
I think my next purchase will either be an MP or an M4, if I can find ones that I can actually afford, else I'll get a second M4-P.

I have a silver chrome M6, which I like, but those "chocolate" Leicas look mighty tasty.

Do you have any more pictures of your M3? The "black hammertone" finish looks really nice.

That's really me
ZoomP, do you take requests? 
Have any more pictures of your Masa Saita M2? I saw a few in the earlier posts, any progress on how well they hold up to use?

Sorry, sold the Masa to a buddy who wanted a Black M2. If you compare the paintwork, Shintaro is up there with the best.

Thanks. That finish is incredibly nice. I can imagine that it cost you a small fortune, but well worth it, I'm sure.

Actually this belonged to one of the Rffers here, who sold it to my buddy in Singapore. I got it from him eventually.

Do these repainted ones brass over time??

I would imagine so, as the pro repainters strip the camera before painting it. All that's left under the paint is brass!

You or Morgan?

Did you do the Jade job yourself? or send it off to Morgan? I've done 3 Pentax SLRs w/textured leather, but wonder about de-Vulcanizing a Leica, then the intricate dodge & weave with all the screw heads, etc.
Looks good - I have an M4 wanting Griptac and another for whatever.
