Guest Ming Rider Posted July 29, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having noticed a glaring omission on the forum, isn't it time for all us closet M5 lovers to 'come out' ? It's now one week since I bought mine, loving every minute and is the final metamorphosis of my change from Digital to Film. A couple of things have sprung to light since aquiring the camera. Firstly, it actually feels lighter than my M8 (now up for sale on this forum ). And secondly, with all the internet talk of how big it is, I had been expecting a brick of a camera. Now seeing one in the flesh, I was amazed at how 'small' it really is. This is the later 3-Lug, but I removed the extra lug and will be fitting an Aki-Asahi 2-Lug Leatherette covering. Now selling a couple of lenses to buy my ultimate 'allrounder', a Voigtlander 50mm f/1.1. Yeah baby !! [ATTACH]327145[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJP Posted July 29, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2012 enjoy! I am pretty sure that there are few items made by Leica that do not afford some enthusiasm. The M5 deserves it, it is one of the special ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messsucherkamera Posted July 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2012 I find it curious that some M cameras - like the M5 and M4-P in particular - are looked upon with a jaundiced eye by some Leica aficionados, yet both are used by many others with no ill effect on their photography, health or quality of life.
