[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hello Fellow Luggers, I'd like to purchase a Leica with built in metering, or even aperture priority, but I'm on a budget and really need to make a decision based on the best value I can get based on the fact I'll be purchasing a used Leica. I'm currently looking at the M5 (used $900 - $1200), M6 .72 TTL (used $1000 to $1600), or an M7 .72 (around $2000). My prices are app based on prices I've seen here on the LUG and on different websites and I want the M6 TTL version in case I should want to use flash. I'd *love* to buy a nice M7, but at 2x the price of a nice M5, is it worth the additional cost? I know that I'm the one who will ultimately have to make the decision, I was just hoping to get some feedback from someone on the list that might have faced a similar decision. My current Leica equipment consists of a M4-2, 35 Summicron, and 50 Summicron. I also have a R3 with 50 Summicron. TIA to all who respond.
