I had many cameras in my life but handling the Leica M was the most enjoyable one. The only issue that I had was the close focus distance. Close up portraits are hard to do with a 35mm or 50mm.

Yes, same. One of the only disadvantages of a rangefinder.

@@seventeendegree oh man.. yea that too. The close focus rangefinder coupling issue seems to be an inherently unavoidable issue, unless now we could shell out 5 digits to buy the 35 APO which focuses to 0.3m? (Cue laughter from every lesser/economical manufacturer.. oh well)

Which viewfinder is better, the CL or the Q..... I know I can look that up, but wanna see if you answer questions!!
