Subject: Newbie to Leica

I have a few questions reguarding Leicas and thought that you guys would
be the best place to start. Pleae feel free to correct me in any area
where I may have wrong information.

I am interested in getting my first Leica and am leaning toward an M3
with a 50 Summicron, possibly an Sumilux. Particularly the M3 since the
finder is full frame 50.

Is there anything that I should know before purchasing one? Is there a
better body that I should consider?

Also, what is the difference between the collapsible 50s and the stiff
ones? Is any 50 better than another?

Althought I have been a professional photographer for nearly 9 years, I
have never delved into the world of Leica. So, as you can see, I have a
lot of questions and the variables with Leicas seems daunting.

Thanks in advance for you help
