I first got involved with leica's after my aunt found my grandpa's leica m5 in the attic from the 1970's! Still in great working condition except that one of the internal brass cogs had lost some teeth. In such a sexy metallic silver colour I couldn't let it go though, so I bought another m5 in Black! while i find someone who can repair my silver leica. It pairs excellently with my 50mm 1.4 summilux.
