Brianna WuThinking about buying a Leica
π π πΊ ππππ
Brian DuBois@ZeKik @briannawu I am the worst person to talk to about Leicas. Iβm much to cheap.
There are the finest of craftsmanship, but I just donβt need that: I like a well built tool that gets the job done
knapjack@mrbwa1 @ZeKik @briannawu I have two: a Barnack-style purchased from KEH that needs a CLA, and an amazing gift from my fabulous wife.
I agree with Brian, though. Almost all of my cameras are thrift shop finds, local auction steals, or eBay gambles. The two cameras on my desk right now are a Leica M5 and a Zenit B, and I think I'm shooting with the Zenit this weekend.
@ZeKik @briannawu @mrbwa1 But, to answer the original question (which wasn't asked of me, OMG, am I reply guy!?), I would say yes:

...and I would take Hamish's perspective one step further: you really need a screw-mount rangefinder and you need a screw-mount SLR. The rangefinder doesn't have to be a Leica, and you can mount LTM lenses on an M Leica, but there's an endless amount of relatively cheap fun in the world of screw-mount lenses.
