Subject: [Leica] Leica CL or Konica Hexar AF?

Hey, that wasn't one of the choices. But since we are talking heresy and
blasphemy on the LUG anyway, my suggestion is the Contax T3. The best
P&S ever made (to date), though I haven't heard a thing about the Leica
CM yet.

By the way, if you are a left-eyed shooter (like I am), your forehead
will turn off the Leica CL meter every single time you try to shoot it.
That was enough to make me part with mine (I used it for a while with a
VC meter in the shoe...it's a nice little camera).

I went through this a few times over the past few years.
I now carry a contax T with me at all times.
I love it.  A mini M7 with a 38mm lens. (great all around focal length).
