Summary: My Best Camera Ever
Review: I have a range of top quality Canon lenses, but I stop using them since I got Leice CM. The optics of Leica CM is just better. Some pictures really look 3D. Leica CM "size-to-quality" ratio is much better than anything I have seen. You can put it in your pocket, and you will not know it is there. It is a bit bigger than a pack of cigarettes. But it is not just the size, it is my first choice for sharpens as well. For all mu "normal" photos, when no close-up or no-zoom is require, it I is my fist choice.

Summary: One of the Best Premium Point and Shoot Cameras
Review: If Kyocera has discontinued the Contax T3, then the Leica CM camera must rank as the finest premium point and shoot (P/S) camera currently available. Its 40mm f2.4 Elmarit lens is one of the finest ever made for a P/S camera, offering image quality which rivals other recent lens designs for both the Leica M rangefinder and R SLR systems. The image quality is absolutely superb, judging from the photographs I have seen. Although it is a relatively expensive camera in its class to acquire, it is well worth the additional cost.

Summary: The ultimate in 35mm point & shoot cameras!
Review: Of course it is the ultimate, it is well made by Leica, in Germany. I found the camera to be solid and easy to use. Read the extensivly detailed manual (in three languages, including english) to discover the many features and flexibility of this work of art and design. My cloud and indoor pictures have turned out exceptionally sharp with an (almost) idiot-proof metering and auto/manual focusing system. Since I wear glasses, the adjustable diopter in the viewfinder has helped me a great deal. The on body flash is powerful, and an excellent computer integrated accessory flash is available (Leica SF 24 D). The camera's large LCD data screen makes reading your adjustments easy. I have taken a lot of pictures in my lifetime of 68 years, with a lot of different makes and types of cameras and films. All camera systems are the result of a lot of compromises, and this one is something to dream for. Even with the advent of of the digital cameras, This film camera is exceptional! It was worth every cent I paid for it and the flash.
