Pros 1) stability 2) analog and precise meter 3) shutter speeds visible in the viewfinder Cons 1) size/weight (the cost of stability) 2) slow meter (a matter of taste?) 3) 35mm viewfinder (a pro for 35/50/90mm users.) A 35mm finder with a 75mm frame is attractive for 75mm users, and replacement with M4-P/M6 finder is a solution for the third con. I am seriously considering trade of my M6 for a second M5. P.S. Simon, your special M5 will be waiting for both Nocti and 75 Summilux. ^_^ Advantage of M5 in slow speeds would make them INVINCIBLE. Please let us know how it is reborn.
