Having an LTM body which automatically corrects for parallax is a distinct advantage, and the switchable framelines (35/50/85/100/135) are bright and clear. The rangefinder is good enough, but not a patch on the crisply defined RF area on my M2 and M3s. The shutter is quiet and accurate, and loading is a breeze. It's a good deal quicker to use than my IIIf, but there's no contest in the handling and feel department compared with the M Leicas. If you want to use M lenses, use them on an M body.
