[Leica] Would you buy a Leicaflex SL2 these days?

[gpinkcp at msn.com (Gary Pinkerton)]

Sure would buy one, to use.
Love my SL, wonderful camera (used MR-9 battery adapter for long time, no 
problems)

They are built like a tank and have a wonderfully 
bright focusing screen
 
The only thing that speaks against one is the metering 
battery.
 
Either get the electronics adjusted for the replacement 
battery for the Mercury cell it needs, use a Wein cell 
or buy an MR9 adapter.
 
I have an SL2, and SL2 "50-Jahre"and an SL2 Mot, and I 
love 'em all to bits.
 
The weight, sound and feel of an SL2 Mot with its motor 
is an experience in itself.:-)
 
Cheers
Douglas
