I am a serious amature in photography. I have used R4s before and currently own Hassy and Caonon equipment. I like M system because it is small and it is perfect for street photography. Some experienced Leica users suggested me to find used M lenses (in good condition) and they said the old Leica lenses were better built than those new ones. And Canada made lenses are even better than Germany made lenses. I need your opinion. Right now, I am using Hexar and Hassy 503cxi (CW winder, 180mmCF lens) for street and documentary photography. I hope after many years my photos are worth something. I feel the world is constantly changing and wish I knew photography 10 years ago. Hexar is a great camera but I think M is still better built for street photography. I want to buy a 21mm M lens and a 35mm M lens after I have decide which camera for myself.
