["animal" <s.jessurun95@chello.nl>]

i,m new to leica too and enthusiastically bought a m6 ttl later got an m3.
if anyone would ask me for an opinion regarding the buying of a leica i,d
say buy a m3 and a m2 good ones can be had for the price of a new one i
think.
do you really need a meter in camera?
