Dear LUG:

Thank you all that responded to my post on M and R cameras. It was helpful.
Thank you Ted, Tina and Alph, et al.

Ted's suggestion on technique and changing out the screens is of great help.
I have screens on order - so I will be giving it a try.

I am afraid to take up Tina's suggestion of giving an M a try, as I will be
in the poor house I am sure! hee hee hee

I also gather that the 35mm f2 M non-aspheric might be worth grabing before
there are none around.

The size of the M seems very helpful as well as the range finder focusing.
But, I am not sure how great my light meter skills are after years and years
and years of matrix metering with various camera systems. I am also a bit
scared about going to a mechanical shutter (dont laugh too hard you guys!). 

The worst part of coming to Leica is that I have become a fellow "glass
addict". hee hee hee

I greatly appreciate you all sharing with me your experience. The learning
curve is rather steep in getting the most out of the Leica world.

Pete
