The M5 is the one M I should’ve bought instead of an extra M3 and extra M6.
Two things I may never know about Leica is why they chose the meter on a stick for the M5 instead of the white patch on the curtain as they did for the M6. Maybe the technology wasn’t good enough. The other puzzle is why they chose 50-90-135 for the M3. Perhaps their intent was that if you like the longer focal lengths, get the M3, otherwise get the M2.
As for Edsels, in 1960 they looked good. My understanding is that the car failed due to its price point and features relative to the Mercury and Lincoln.

I actually prefer the stick/needle metering. Like it on the Canon FTb too. Hate the diodes. That's just me though.
