I started with a Leica M 2 and a 50 collaspible cron in 78. I have always used Leicas for my personal work and have used Topcon when I started in 71 then nikon then Canon and now Sony for professional work. Occasionally 2 1/4 as well. But the leica usage slows me down makes me think and as a street photographer first it does not freeze up people like other cameras do. I tired the voigts hated the fringing have on thypoch now a 75 the rest all leica glass wate which I might be the only one who loves it 24 28 35 and 50 luxes I live in low ligth a 90 cron and the 135 apo. I have gone the eV1 now I hated tryinga sony with the bad ergonomics I want light and small and no not rich, I was orphaned at 16 photography saved my life, but a working photographer my adult life. But I buy smart mostly used.
