Re: Leica - starter camera

Hi Mark
I think the consensus from you and the group is that an M6 would be the best way to start.
The more serious question will be - When does it end?
regards,
Phil

Phil:
I started in photography with my grandfather's M3, but I'd recommend an M6 if you can afford it. An M6's TTL meter makes for much more spontaneous photography, where an M-series Leica really shines. And M6's are (relatively) inexpensive used.

I have been on the list for some time now and have not contributed much, if at all, as I don't own a Leica. I have about about 50 other cameras but no Leica. I think it is time I changed that and so would appreciate any thoughts on what would make a good Leica to start out with. I don't think I am interested in an SLR Leica as I have plenty of those already but a good user rangefinder would be nice. M3 perhaps? I will learn more about the respective designations but would like some opinions on what model(s) would be a good place to start. I realize that there will be no right or wrong answer to this question, merely opinions, but that is what this group is good at. Maybe no one will even answer, but I do hope so. Price has some significance but I do understand that these cameras are not cheap.
