It feels very much like a Leica, and is not much bigger than an M7. I have put up some test pictures (on Agfa Scala, notoriously difficult to scan, but the seller included 4 rolls with the camera, so I might as well use them): http://www.greatpix.eu/gallery/2226109 One of the neat things about this camera is that it takes 220 film. There are not many choices in 220, but that perennial street-shooting favourite, Tri-X, is reasonably easily available. And this means 32 pictures on a roll, not far behind a 35mm camera.
