Probably can't afford a Leica. Probably can afford a Canon 7. Should I buy?

[Uncle Bill]

I bought Voigtlaender Bessa R2A vith Voigtlaender lenses (35mm and 75mm) and stopped think how to save for Leica.

That's a sensible recommendation and if I am looking for a second M mount body, it will mostly like be either an R2A or R2M.

Another camera to consider is the Voigtlander/Cosina rangefinder. If you are looking for a 35mm f2.0 or faster lens the Voigtlander lenses are reasonably priced (as compared to Leica) and will fit any LTM/M body.

I agree with Nicholas though I don't agree with your thinking. If you are living off loans don't buy anything.

The Canon 5D is a decent digital body and can make great photos. Learn to use what you have for now.
