Pros: Stunning Quality. Terrific Lens. Unique photographic fun.
Cons: Film Loading. Price at full retail.
The Bottom Line: If you want an incredibly built "retro" camera this is the one to get.

| kdemas's Full Review: Leica O-Series |
I bought this camera hoping to experience something truly different. Put simply, mission accomplished.
This camera is not for everyone or for every shot. It is an "extra" camera to have when you have the time and opportunity to take the time to revert to a time when each shot was meticulously planned and executed. It is itself part of the fun, learning it's nuances and quirks. It is not the camera I would bring to my family get together.
This camera is built as beautifully as any I have seen for a long while, better than the M6 and M7 that I regularly use. It has a terrific new "retro" lens and a shutter that is smooth as butter.
I took my first roll today and the results, where I executed the shot properly, were fantastic. It is all the more satisfying because of the lengths you go to to make the shot.
If you want a different experience where everything is very manual, film loading is tough, framing is a challenge and you have a smile on your face at the end of the day....this is the camera. A "niche camera for sure, but a terrific one.
