There are those who say that the M5 marks the highest point on the Leica rangefinder evolutionary chain and those who, as I'm sure you know, think it's a rock sticking out of the shallow end of the Leica gene pool. Try it for yourself. See if it does fit your hands. See if you like the features. But don't worry about the stealth, comfy aspect. If it fits your hands, it will be comfy. And, by the standards of today's SLRs, it's small and discrete. B. D. KARM40@aol.com wrote: > > I've been lurking for quite a while now and I was thinking about getting an > M5.
