I recently went through the same decision process and ended up buying a new
M6TTL/.85 and 50/2 Summicron over the M7. Just did not feel I needed the
extra automation at this time. I also use the R4SP and Leicaflex SL and
love both. So far I have been very satisfied with my choice and the
Summicron deserves the rep it has.

Hello Fellow Luggers,
I'd like to purchase a Leica with built in metering, or even aperture
priority, but I'm on a budget and really need to make a decision based on
the best value I can get based on the fact I'll be purchasing a used Leica.
I'm currently looking at the M5 (used $900 - $1200), M6 .72 TTL (used $1000
to $1600), or an M7 .72 (around $2000). My prices are app based on prices
I've seen here on the LUG and on different websites and I want the M6 TTL
version in case I should want to use flash.
I'd *love* to buy a nice M7, but at 2x the price of a nice M5, is it worth
the additional cost?
I know that I'm the one who will ultimately have to make the decision, I
was
just hoping to get some feedback from someone on the list that might have
faced a similar decision.
My current Leica equipment consists of a M4-2, 35 Summicron, and 50
Summicron.
I also have a R3 with 50 Summicron.
TIA to all who respond.
