Leica M1

The Leica M1 is like the forgotten child for the leica M camera together with its M5. I have seen a very nice condition M1 but I didn't get the Leica M1 as it does not have a rangefinder and it was designed to be an affordable general purpose camera or to use with microscopes and the Visoflex system.

Without the rangefinder, it made it hard for anyone to shoot with this camera as one would need to use zone focus. As an amateur photographer, this will be too big a challenge for me. Same as the Leica I camera. Since my aim is to get the camera for use and not for display, I have decided to focus on the M3, M4 instead.
