Pity that Pascal couldn't have borrowed or rented an M and a couple
lenses before committing all that money.
Pity, because it is a rare Leica shooter that is serious about a
variety of shooting that would be shooting M Leicas exclusively.
Even M zealots will grudgingly allow that SLRs offer greater
flexibility over more conditions than RF. The M can only approach
SLR flexibility, and then, only with a raft of extra gear.
This is one reason why shooting with an M is expensive. Serious Leica
shooters love the M, BUT, usually own SLR equip. to round out the
kit. Or, is it own M to round out the kit? :-)
That said, IMHO, there is *nothing* finer to use in its element!
