G'day,

Thanks for people who gave me a few suggestions with regards equipment.

I think I've fine tuned my selection.

It looks like what I need is M2 or M4-P, with a 35mm lens either a f2
(summicron?) or F2.8(elmar?). If the camera works well I would consider a
90mm to carry while I skiing.

Essentially what I am looking for is a 'photographers point and shoot'.
Something small and light, basically to take shots of friends and
interesting places that I've been. I have never used a rangefinder before
so that may take a while to get used to. Though the rest of the camera
looks straight forward which is one of the main attractions.

Now the hard part,

Where is the best place to pick up a M2 or M4-P. I'd don't want to spend
a fortune but at the same time I'd rather not spend a lot on repairs.

Given that I'm looking for a 35mm lens which one?
