that never becomes out of adjustment,
I have never had an out of adjustment rangefinder on a Leica, for my Bessa and Epson RD1 (also made by the same people as the ZI) I had to learn to adjust the rangefinder myself since it needs re-setting often (weekly if used a lot) 


be happy with the cloth shutter


Nice and quiet


that never fails and has no risk to melt with the sun,
No sun here in England ;-) the only burn holes I have seen were in a M3 I bought in Nice. I have never had a Leica shutter failure, though I have only used one for about 20 years, I could not afford one when younger.

their very fast flash sync speed,


I pretty well never use flash.


be happy with the excellent
vulcanite, be happy with the very comfortable and simple way to load
the film,
The film loading is one of the things I like best about M Leicas, though I find the screw mount too slow. 


etc, etc. be happy with your Leica and pay a lot for it.-
Precision cameras have always been expensive. Including the -real- Zeiss Ikon.
