It was the finest combo I ever owned, and I regretted it after selling them off. Although I love my M7, I could never reproduce the same portrait close up. IE, rangefinders just can't cut it when photographing under 3 ft. subject distance. I have found that an SLR and a rangefinder are a lovely duo. But of course, ever restless, I am playing with medium format now..
