Well after a few day stint with a borrowed IIIf red dial from the "museum" at my work I said to myself, "Just get the damned M. You're going to do it at some point anyways." So for my birthday (Mar 13th) I bought myself an M4-2 from The Bay.
It was in Canada and I had to send a money order but it has finally arrived! Now with all of the negative talk I had heard about this camera I half expected a plasic camera to arrive (not literally, but you know...). Not so! This thing will last me a LOOONG time. I don't care if it's made in Canada or Germany, it's a Leica. I also figured that since it is the predacessor to the current M line I couldn't really go wrong, and I was right.
Anyways, just thought I'd spread the joy and say hello to my new fellow M users. Happy birth month me! :)

P.S. I'm still not going to get rid of my Canonet!!
