I like the little Yashica T4 when I can't carry an M (and an M is not
particularly big so I usually have one kicking around).

Problem with the T4 is that I carried it around in a sock (always tend to
have "an extra" sock lying around). The cotton fuzz has dimmed the
viewfinder to the point that I can hardly see through it. Come to think of
it, I can hardly see through these 5-year-old glasses either.
