Default Re: Hello and Question

Hi,

That's pretty much impossible to answer. What are you expecting or hoping to acheive from using a Leica that you don't get from your current equipment?

Firstly remember it's the photographer that makes the image. It's not about what a Leica can do, it's what you can do.

Leica are really about the lenses. The camera bodies are superb of course but the lenses render the image.

A screw/M Leica is a totally different camera to an R. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses and the only person who can decide which is best is you. Many of us - me included - use both systems.

All that said, for general all round use, a Leica R3/R4 and 50mm Summicron lens or a rangefinder such as an M2 and Elmar are good relatively inexpensive first steps into Leica IMO.
