I learned on a Leica M3, an old Weston meter and Fred Picker's Zone VI Workshop book. Even my first pictures weren't that bad -- I still have them. I had little compositional theory, but the images were sharp and the exposure was 80% on the money. Leica to learn on? Sure, if you really want to learn. Hey, if you *know* you want to learn guitar and buy a Gibson, who's going to argue?
