Welcome Jim,

A WARNING :
DON'T touch a Leica camera, for it is a highly life-long contagious 
disease ;-)

Homeopathy is a possible cure to it : buy one item at a time, shoot, 
experiment, and enjoy as well as share the results.
Early massive doses can result in good sense impairment when choosing 
the right lens or body for a picture :-D

BW is a sometimes tough but excellent school to learn - enjoy the smell 
of the chemicals, they might not last that long now.
I hope you can find an II, III, M or R that fits your wishes and 
expectations, of course
I repeat: welcome to the list Jim.
You'll find lots of nice people here, valuable advice and comments, and 
good spirit (together with high morals ? :-P )

Yours
Phil...x
