Leica M9 rangefinder camera

AlistairH

The point of a Leica rangefinder is...

...the vast range of superb glass that you can attach to this camera. You have about 70-years worth of Leica lenses to choose from, and that means you can use some of the nicest lenses ever made.

Of course, you can do this with am M8 as well, and these are available used from about £1450. Put the recent, tiny aspherical Elmar 28mm f2.8 on it, and you get the nearest digtal thing to a classic 35mm M-rangefinder with a 35mm lens with change from £3k.
