Beautiful, uncluttered viewfinder that calls up the three essential framelines one at a time. The camera has only what's necessary to take pictures. My all time favorite are those models with button rewind and the flush light collector window. Pure 50's German industrial design. Very clean lines and the whole camera just looks right. I have one in chrome and one in black. Two beauties. Right now, I'm using a black lever rewind version, no ST, flush light collector window, Tom A M2 Rapidwinder in polished black anodized finish to match the black paint and a Tom A softie. Black 35/1.4 ASPH and MR-4 meter. A real thoroughbred picture taking machine. Got a lot of looks from people at the Leica stand and all over at PMA. A lot of people came up to me and asked to touch it. Black M2's always get this reaction from the M camera nuts! Bill Rosauer
