Years later when looking for a 35mm SLR camera system to purchase I looked at Nikon, Canon, Olympus and Leica. Leica won hands down. Since then I have also picked up Leica M and LTM rangefinders and Leica V35 enlargers in the darkroom. At present, I use rangefinders with glass of 90mm and wider and Leica R for anything longer than 90mm. Regards, Greg
