The M5 is a terrific camera as are both the SL and, especially, the SL2. I have them all in addtion to some later gear as well. The quality of the M5 is in keeping with the earlier Leica bodies and the meter is just wonderful. I much prefer it to the LED display of the M6. However I do have to say, that for low light use the R7 ( I don't have an R8) is considerably more useful. But low light is not what I normally do. Bob Figlio
