What To Choose M7 or MP

[LazyHammock]

Go to Cameraquest.com - He has his scoop on most, if not all M lenses. BTW the M6 is a great choice.

I think I'll start off buying a used M6 off a photographer I know and start with that. It's not like I can never buy a MP or M7 at a latter stage. Does anybody know a good website that talks about different M lens and comparing the old ones with the newer versions? Thanks.

Good decision. Below is the lens link into the Cameraquest site, which can have confusing navigation:

BTW the M5 has continuous shutter time regulation. So it does it all, because it is of course mechanic (and TTL). But beware of the two lugs ones (on the same side) like the CL. I don't know what crossed their minds. Fortunately it went out of fashon quickly. I know of a photog that added a lug to his CL

Take the chrome MP it is gorgeous! Or... the black paint one, that once worn will look terrific believe me! If you want a more serious aproach of shooting without a meter but still want a M, then buy a beater M4 and have it repainted by Shintaro!
