Dear Thibault,

since when I started to use Leicas, the more I shoot, the more I'm convinced
that a well trained photographer (which I'm not yet) with a good tecnique, a
simple camera (the simpler,the better,an M2 or M3 are perfect) and an
handheld meter can successfully face whatever photographic situation.So,IMO,
the problem is not the tool,the problem is the brain behind the tool.For me,
more shots, more films,less tools.
I'd become the king of fully manual cameras.

Ernesto

I totally agree with that Ernesto, even though I don't have an M5 (I'd like
to!) but that's what I think about the leicaflexes SL/SL2, they  can
successfully afford most, if not all, the photographic situations.
