Buying a Leica M camera, be it a film or digital model, has become a dream for many. There is immense pleasure in holding a little M rangefinder—it just oozes quality, and using it is one of photography's greatest pleasures. And let's be honest, that red dot gives you some serious street cred.
The problem many of us run into is that once we've scraped enough pennies together to buy a Leica, we then have the issue of buying glass for it. Leica lenses cost a small fortune, and owning two to three focal lengths is often just not financially viable.
