The screwmount is nice to use once you get around the separate RF and Viewing windows. Some have double images which are not so clear and it's difficult to focus in dim light. An OKARO orange filter helps a bit but not much. The cameras are well built. Film loading is a fiddly affair and if you like to tinker and play with expensive toys like cameras, this is the way to go. Interestingly, I find that ladies seem fascinated by screwmount leicas. Maybe they are able to appreciate the cameras' beauty more than men. Dan Khong
