Just state one thing you like best.. for me...

Being able to meter scene, set the speed and appeture and then just shoot! With a modern auto-everything SLR, even in aperture priority its always metering, so you have to be carefull that if you suddenly turn to a dark object etc that it messes up. I can now see why Leica didn't have apperture priority for so long... its an impediment.

I just mentioned the way you meter with a Leica (i.e. the method - meter, set once and shoot).. Isn't that just 1? <confused look>
 
just pullin' your leg!

i need to sit and think for awhile if i wanna say something nice about an m camera...:)

My M2/M3

1) the solid density of the camera
2) the rounded ends
3) it is roughly as old as I am and still works perfectly
4) that it was made in a time when pride of craftmanship still existed and it was made as well as it could be made, regardless of price
 
what you said, snaggs, and what Frank said, except #3, and that it is soooo unbelievably quiet. I just got an R2 to back up my M. Wow! What a difference; the R2 is a good camera, but compared to a leica the shutter sounds like a SLR with auto advance. :p
