+ Small 
+ Uses M lenses

- - but only some of them
- - you cannot use Noctilux on it
- - nor Russar
- - nor even a bright tele
- - harder to handle than Real Leica (IIIc) or even Ersatz Leica (M)
- - uglier
- - has METER! (and everybody knows that "only SISSIES ...") :-)

Buy it. With both two C lenses it is a good shooting machine.
