Subject: Re: [Leica] Entry-level rangefinder for a newbie?

A young boy who's father owns a Leica should use no less !
He has to convince his father to buy one for him :)
Well , a painted MP with a 50 is a good start , allowing the 
thing to be kept lifetime , as it will be a father's gift .

I have 3 daughters and if one day one of them tells me " I want a Leica " ,
I'd do it if I could , no hesitation .
