Waiting on Maitani
Mark: I haven't done as extensive an eval of images as you, but I agree about the bokeh.
mich8261 said:Roman, no picture, I haven't purchased my copy yet, but I am doing similar research. If you are interested in the 40, I think you should consider the R3A since is has the viewfinder lines for this lens. The R2A starts at 35.
I changed from the R3A to the R3M. The metering was a main reason. See gandy for specifics, but works better for serious photography. By the way the Piano Black finish is super nice. I am getting continously good exposures at 1/8 and 50% good at 1/4 with the 40mm MC.Roma said:Did anyone here change from R3A to R3M or the other way around because of metering??? I know that R3M shows metering at the bottom of the viewfinder in place of shutter speeds of R3A. How does R3A show you metering?
Thanks to all of you guys and girls again!

Roma said:Thank you John and Luke for giving me more pointers with this investment. I'm not independently wealthy and can't just buy what I want any time I want it and discard it when I change my mind.
I got an R3A black, mint with a 40mm Nokton MC kit coming from ebay hopefully this week.
I went to an annual photo flea market yesterday and one of the vendors had an M7 in the box. I asked to look at it and have to admit it's a damn "sex-machine"😎 .
HOWEVER, when this guy was handing it to me, I noticed that his hands were shaking and he was asking me to be extra careful with the thing. This is THE thing that turned me completely off this "sex machine". I want a camera so I can get my ars out there and take some photos, instead of worrying about it's loosing $1000 if I put a scratch on it.
Thanks to everyone for replying to this thread!
