Which Classic M for the Leica feel?

Tedwhite:

The M6 classic is a terrific user M unless you need AE (in which case, M7) or digital (M8 or ... ?). Earlier cameras are great (and may "feel" better) but lack the meter (exception: M5). There are more expensive cameras (MP) but functionally they do little or nothing that the M6 won't do for you. They may make your picture taking a happier experience in other ways, if you're willing to spend extra.
 
Ted,

the M6 is a great choice. I have two and use them more than M2 and M3.
Simply more convenient (28mm frames and meter). Unless you have much
more money and don't mind spending it on M7 or MP.

For the thread starter I recommend either M2 or M6. Love my M2 and
not enough difference to the M4 to justify the higher price.

Best,

Roland.
 
I interpret "classic M" (in the original question) as either M2, M3, or M4. Later, I don't consider "classic." My answer to the question would be an M3 with a 50 or M2 with a 35.
