Thanks for the useful infos. I have to say that I am a Leica R user since 1983 and lately I'm trying to understand my M4. Then I fall in love with the 1955 concept :-)

I'm seeing interesting M3 cameras @ Leicashop, while I'm wondering about the lens between 21 Super Angulon f:3.4 (no chrome but black) or a lighter wideangle. No 1955 lens found yet and no Leicameter M.

Flavio,
sure to go for M3? Legendary tool, really, but the M4, just for the Viewfinder 35-to-135 is a little more versatile (frames are better, too) and deserves the same feeling as M3 : simply a classic; about the wideangles... 21 3,4 I repeat is VERY FINE, and think a photographer with some kind of sentiment must have a 21; Voigt-Cosina lenses are interesting... it's about 2 years I permanently think to have the 15... never decided...there is also a 21, I seem to remember, and (I did not think before) maybe a good 21 viewfinder that can be ordered by itself
