I decided that I want to purchase MP body or M7 but I need more info to make proper choice.
None of the camera dealers in Sudbury display M series Leicas, they have the compact cameras such as the CM and Minilux models.
First thing I really need to know is:
How hard is it to focus compared to SLR camera?
Is it easy to look though viewfinder? I find the view finder window to small in the Minilux.
I used to buy SLR's because it was easy to see though compared to squinting though small finder windows.
The lens I plan to purchase is the Leica Elmar F2.8/50mm.
How important is the .58, .72 and .85 finder choice? Which is best to focus the 50mm lens, second lens at later date most likely to be 35mm.
I was more interested in the M7 but seen a lot of posts re problems unloading films due to DX contacts.
Since the MP has TTL metering, manual control only not a problem to me.
Most pictures outside will be of my Miata or car show stuff , other subject for outside photos is landscape.
Inside pictures mostly family stuff.
