Here it is! The next episode of Finding Leica. In this episode I review the highly controversial Leica M5. My Leica M6 is heading off for repairs and a CLA and I thought what better time to buy a new Leica than now? A quick look at the price of a Leica M6 and I knew I was going to have to look for alternatives. I found a few Leica M5s for a reasonable price and, hesitantly, bought a pair of them! I bought a black Leica M5 two lug and a silver Leica m5 3 lug and set off shooting.

What are your thoughts on the M5?

Are considering purchasing a Leica M5 in the near future?

Do you buy into all the hate around the Leica M5? If yes, why? If not, why?
