Re: Leica CM
I have to concur with the general concensus here. It is a great camera. I have had mine for about ten months and I love using it. It goes everywhere with me in my briefcase and it is a joy to carry and use. Like Andy, mine is a permanent fixture in my briefcase and has been around the world a couple of times already. It it still the only camera I routinely get positive feedback from complete strangers on (I was at a wedding on the weekend and the photographer wanted to play with it). I seriously doubt that you will have any regrets if you take the plunge.
Now, if Leica can some out with a digital CM with a sensor size that allows for depth of field, that is one camera that I would definitely buy.
One pointer - always check that you get the focus confirmation dot in the viewfinder before you click the shutter all the way. The focus ring has a habit of slipping off autofocus. Even after 50 rolls of film, I still get one or two on every roll.
The Everready case is a good (albeit rather smelly) accessory.
