It's a great camera, build like a concrete outhouse but it's not an impulse buy.
It's a camera you definitely need to want before you can appreciate it.

Or just YOLOSWAG and buy it.

Will make for great gear pictures on tumblr and you will impress analog hipster girls.

Comparatively speaking an M is a more functional camera, all be it a good deal more expensive typically. If this is your first rangefinder it is a great starting point, but once most people get into RF's the road typically leads to leica.

I see it compared to the M3... everywhere. However, this one can be acquired cheap compared to say, an M3. And yeah, It's my first rangefinder.
