it could have been worse, it could have been a M5 TTL!"

I kinda agree with Tom. I don't like the M5!
I tried two of them recently and found them very unpleasant...I don't know
why, but I didn't like their feel. I'm not bothered by the size since I'm a
Leicaflex user but I just didn't feel OK with the M5.
What do you think of that?
Am I going crazy?
