A question for the users of the above camera. I had a chance to 
handle one yesterday and was amazed by the feel, size and precision. 
Compared to my M6 it is tiny. How is it as a real world shooter? I 
know about the loading qualities and the split rangefinder and 
viewfinder but are there any other quirks?
The one I looked at is for sale and the fellow is asking $250USD. The 
curtains are good, shutter speeds look good from the images produced 
the other day, there are the usual tiny, tiny marks on the bottom 
plate and a few on the top plate, no dents or dings and the vulcanite 
is all there. Is the ask price reasonable and how serviceable are the LTMs?
Many thanks
BarryH
