As a first time Leica owner, I need help with a few questions.... * 35mm Lens Options -- Used or Voightlannder? I am thinking of starting with a 35mm lens for awhile, and a new Leica lens is not in my budget. Should I look for a used one on Ebay or get a new Voightlander with a adapter mount? If I get a used one, which should I look for or avoid? * Meters I am looking at getting a small incident meter (maybe with a reflected option). My goals would be small, accurate, and inexpensive. * General Tips Since this is my first time, I could use any help. Especially about how will I load film into this thing? Any care guidelines? Straps or small bag recommendations? Thanks for any help! /Jason Carroll Portland, OR
