[8 x 3.5 x 1.5"] Just shot the roll of Tri X supplied with the camera and looking forward to seeing results. The camera is everything it claims to be; beautifully built and inspiring to use. I still use my Leica MD and love that too. I found myself spending time reviewing shots rather than thinking about the next one. Both these cameras slow you down which is a good thing.

[0.5 lb] The simplicity of this camera is such a relief. I no longer have worries of the software being outdated in five years. I have something that I can leave behind for my kids and know that it will work. The ease of use and back to basics don't even need to be mentioned, or maybe they do. I have no regrets about this purchase, but I did with the M240. I'm no longer a slave to technology.

[0.5 lb] I have two m-6s; 72x and 85x  viewfinders.  I just dont have any feelings for digital.  I shot professional video a few year ago, but gave it up and returned to the film roots of my youth.  This is a great way to celebrate!  ANALOG!

[8 x 3.5 x 1.5"] I'm enjoying my leica it is everything I need in a camera, I can not wait until my backordered Leica arrives. The sales staff at B&H are great I enjoy my experiences with the helpful and kind demeanor they exude.

[8 x 3.5 x 1.5"] My first Leica was an M2, with a 50mm Summicron. This was 1962, and got me addicted to photography. After a lot of digital cameras, of so many types and varieties, I'm going back. Tri-X, scanned, we shall see Of course digital is easier, but like the simplicity and lack of choice of the taking.

[8 x 3.5 x 1.5"] I do not own an M-A, but had the use of one during a Leica Akademie film workshop and am now saving my pennies. The M-A takes the best of all previous meter less Leica M cameras and combines it all in one, brand-new body. There are some who may prefer the crank film rewind from the M4, M6 and M7 or wish for the return of the self-timer, but those are minor niggles. The M-A brings back the level of build quality that we had in the M3 through M5, but in a simpler form. My regular film camera is a Leica M5 and I will admit that I like having a meter, but there is something about brand-new, and the M-A really does look and feel just a smidge better than metered MP. I think its the metal instead of plastic disc at the back for ISO, which on the M-A is just a reminder unlike the actual (plastic) control on the MP. Simply put, there is nothing better on the market today.

[8 x 3.5 x 1.5"] if you like analog photography this is the best option, no light meter that distracts you from the subject, it's just you and your camera in the field, you don't have to worry about numbers on the screen or unnecessary batteries, the mechanism of this camera is totally beautiful and practical
