The M3 is one of the best ever made. Only film camera better is the Hassleblad but its a large format film camera and a lot more bulky to deal with.
The M4 and M4-2 are a bit more "user friendly" than the M3 but a real pro usually uses the M3. Its kinda like using a 5 speed gearbox or an automatic, the purist will almost always use the gearbox car.
Anyone looking to get something like this needs to get onto the Leica Users Group email list. Every Friday they have the "flea market" and you can pick up some really good deals. Email me and can provide contact info.
