In reply to David. I wear glasses and shoot Leica just like millions of people out there. Leicas are hyped up and overpriced but nothing touches the zi rangefinder. I can buy 2 Leicas at their admission prices and the M is a history chapter. Film cameras became toys for millenials... They were workhorses for journalists and professional photographers.

So… which lab would develop your film in a desert island?

It is a marvellous camera, never forget that Henri Cartier-Bresson has used it, certainly because he wanted a gem as a Leica in a small package. I have a M3 original black one from a little serial, but when I want to go light without compromise, this is my best choice and the green dots make it the faster camera all over the world. This lense is awesome. This one of best Contax and one of best camera ever made. and we can shoot nearly 39, 40 images … if we start from the loading. in a top ten camera I will put it, with the Nikon 28 TI. The Contax T3 is simply badly expensive and do not carry more, just a few lines of definitions with a stronger Zeiss Pop effect

For eyeglass wearers there is nothing better than the Zeiss ZM viewfinder. Leica for the nice rangefinder patch it has in all its cameras never designed one that satisfies eyeglass wearers. Todays DSLRs are finally tackling the issue head on, but after 60 years!!

Great read. Thank you.

I’d vote for the Leica MP.

Black painted. Of course.
