Thank you very much Erik! I didn't know it, so I will keep it in mind!

Ride, dive, shoot.
Shab, congrats! Looking really sharp. "Speed loading" is a little different from M4 and other Ms, but You'll have no problem.
If you prefer leaving the tongue of film out when you rewind the roll like myself (I'm lazy I put the film on reel from there in dark bag), then be careful rapid rewinding. M5 rewinds quite a bit quicker than other M4 style Ms thanks to geared crank.

Never been a huge fan of M5's, but this is lovely!

I love all the M5 love that's happening! I wish I had kept mine. I'd happy acquire another one in the future, but I'll be more than happy with my three Ms for a long long time.
I just got another copy of the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5, this time in chrome and it's really nice on my M3. I think I'll enjoy that combo!
I'll have some things to share once I get a delivery from Australia

Looking very, very classy!
Imagine how this silver chrome M5 would look with a silver chrome 35/1.4 FLE with those modern square lens hoods - mmmhhh …

Sadly won't happen for this one. As for now I can't afford FLE...

My "new to me" M4 sporting a 35mm summilux pre-asph with customised 35/2 hood (details here) and a v2 prototype of my customised lens tab. I'll post details about the lens tab in the 35 pre-asph thread later tonight Edit: here. It's a work in progress - I hope to be able to offer the final product in the classifieds soon...

The M4 is very quickly becoming my favourite M, and is relegating my much loved M6 to back-up duties.

Awesome work on both the lens hood and the focusing tab! I used the Heavystar tab on my v4 50mm cron for years and it held up well with heavy duty double sided tape. I was one of the beta testers of Lens Taab and have been using it ever since. Just realized I don't have any photos of the final version of the product which is much thinner and streamlined, but this should give you an idea of how the two compare.

The fact I don't have a picture of the final product is irking me so I'll have to take a photo of it soon
