The early M is the perfect street photography camera IMO! An absolute delight to use. Lets you make all the technical decisions quickly and effortlessly without having to fight the camera for control. And Erwin, what's this hooey about the Graflex being the perfect reportage camera and the Rolleiflex being the best street camera? Good gawd man, what you been smoking? ;-) Not that they aren't fine cameras -- I have a crown graphic myself. I hang a Schneider 65mm Super Angulon on it and play Ansel Adams every now and them. It's fun. But using my Leica *cameras* is funner! The glass is the icing on the cake. BK
