It is, if you just have to have a blue camera.This Konica C35 is the same price as a Leica M. Does that mean it is as good as one?

I does have the occasional corner light leak, I just need to part with it long enough to have it repaired. The downside is it is an orphan camera. There are not many technicians who work on it and parts can be hard to get.
the red one I used to have was somewhat worse than Leica, but OTOH my red version was 1220 times cheaper than the blue one, so who knows...
I want a red one. That is not beat up and actually works. And costs $100 or less. Been looking for a while now... (the Japanese offerings tend to be higher priced and very optimistic with their condition..)
Too bad I sold mine (for 5€) a few years ago - I can’t believe anyone is ready to pay 100$ for this type of camera.
I don’t worry about the money, but it was nice looking cameraYou sold too soon! Don't feel bad, I sold my Contax T3 about 15 years ago for $200...
and why shouldn't we be?I thought we were friends.
M5 are on the cheaper side of film M line.

I don't think. I check prices from reputable sources. Those are not selling half working junk. With them M5 is on the cheaper side of film M Leica cameras.Don't think so if you want the meter working properly.

After using film Ms a lot, I'm diggin Nikon EM with compact 24 2.8 by Tokina. Focus rotates to normal direction.
Very good metering, works better for street photography than M5/M6.
I could meter with it at any time. No status kit, but Flickr's inexplore picked it three times.
To me LTM Leicas are more on the best of all time. More robust than film M and size is awesome.
I've recently been using a Nikon N2000. Like new condition, $40. Works perfect, and takes all sorts of fantastic lenses.
Only bummer is the shutter speed readouts in the VF are a little hard to see in bright light. Has exposure lock which is super handy, and the built in motor winder takes AAA batteries.
It's weird, I like using this more than my F3P. I guess it's because the pics look exactly the same that come out of it! But it costs pennies in comparison.
Then... I picked up a Nikon FG in my local shop, just window shopping. The size of the EM but with more features. Only thing missing for me is the exposure lock function, but I would get around that by switching to manual.
Love the tiny size, love the weight, love the design - especially of the wind on lever!.
This is also why I really like my Pentax SuperA and ME series. Tiny but excellent. And cheap.
I had mint, all working FG-20. I think the real and only reason why I sold it, it was't black.
The FG-20 to the FG, is the M4-2 to the M4...
Except, it's archaic flash connectivity and richies price if black Leica matters.

HThe viewfinder port is slightly too far to the right compared to other Leica Ms.
The meter stays on when the shutter is cocked.
That is all. (Happy that I got it back from DAG!)
