I'm about to beef up my film gear. Just secured a Hasselblad 203FE from a forum member, and now I am turning my eye back to 35mm rangefinders.
For years I used M6s then M7s and know those cameras well. Currently have a M8 with M24/2.8ASPH, 28/2ASPH, 35/1.4ASPH, 50/1.4ASPH, and a 90/2.8.
I am now considering the Zeiss Ikon body for film work ... which appears to have the best rangefinder base of anything out there, a stop better top shutter speed which would help with fast glass, and a 1/125th sync speed compared to the Leica's 1/50th
Anyone using this camera? What is the tactile feel like? Do the Leica M lenses register correctly? Is it a lot louder than a M7? Is the meter accurate?
Any impressions good or bad would be most appreciated
