That's even dumber, as it is just something else to fog up. I have a 25/4 Color Skopar on it.

Why did I buy the ultimately dumbed down Leica M body? The negatives: It has no VF It has no RF It has no meter The positives: It has an M bayonet on the front. It has a accessory finder foot on top. I has no (wretched) twist knob to rewind the film. It is probably the least desirable M Camera made, and therefore sells for less than any other M body. It is just peachy for my 15mm Heliar lens!
