[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]have a few basic questions about Leica's. One huge benefit of the cameras seems to be their simplicity and compact size. Would a light meter be required on for example an M2 for daytime shooting? If so, would this not detract from the portability? I am unfamiliar with range finders and a novice photographer, so please pardon any stupid questions. Is the main difference between a range finder and an slr the viewing/focusing mechanism? With a range finder you focus based on supposed distance as opposed to clarity of image? Is a fair price for a used M2 body with some dings in it $650? thanks for you patience. Howard Kelly hkelly@dti.net
