Leica CM
This the evolution of the Leica Minilux with most of the faults iron out. About 15.000 were produced, so no great interest was generated with this model. The size is similar to the Nikon 35 Ti, but opposite to the Minilux, the design is more serious, and to my eyes, more Leica. All the info was transferred to the back door, making the design more pure. Unlike the Minilux, there is full viewfinder info, shutter, aperture, manual focusing aids, ouff! The bad news is that the viewfinder is barely different, small and tunnel like.
The other difference is the all important Made in Germany, something that I seriously doubt.
Another familiar face is the Summarit 2,4/40 that people praise a lot.
I am not a great fan of Leica, but for the price of a entry level zoom compact digicam, I did not resist.
