I've had two for about 15 years, along with lenses from the same vintage and they're the best cameras that I've ever had. They beat any of the Nikons that I've owned, and the EOS bodies that I've tested. Their only real limitation is that of the rangefinder itself. I've found that I'm not really a fan of the 90 mm length on the rangefinder and I've got one that I'm willing to part with, but otherwise, the glass is great. Obviously anything longer is out of the question, and I'll fall back to a reflex system for long lens work. I've read some glowing reports from those who favor the older version of the M system, but in all honesty, other than the times that I've dropped a body or lens, I've not had any trouble with the gear.
