When I purchased my first leica, an M2, last year I had two cameras in mind. It was a desicion between a IIIf with lens and the M2 with 50mm lens. At the last minute I decided to go with the M for various reasons. First the availablility of repair parts for M's seemed better. Second the ease of use of the combined VF/RF on the M's. Finally the ability to use modern lenses. Today LTM user's can also use modern lenses (the Cosina Voigtlander series), so I am again interesed in an older screw mount leica! What are the favorites of the LUG members? I love the size of the LTM cameras with a collapsible lens: pocketable! I'm leaning toward a IIIc or IIIf. Will I need to have a second body as a 'parts' camera if repairs are ever needed? Any advice from your combined expertise would be greatly appreciated! With my M2 on it's way for a repair, for who knows how long, I'm experiencing my first 'Leica withdrawl'! Thanks for the time!
