I'm thinking of investing in a Leica rangefinder and adding to a few already owned lenses.
I already own a Bessa R which is a joy to use, so I'm no stranger to Rangefinder usage.
Problem i have is which one to go for.
Ive narrowed it down to a IIIc/f for size/handling. An M2 as a Leica entry into a similar camera i own, or i could stretch a bit more for a M5 which i have always liked the layout and controls of.
I'm actually not looking for a camera to put on the shelf, I want to use it, so what are, if any problems should i look out for apart from speed's, holey shutters etc...?

Try them out and see. I've got a IIf, IIIf, CL and M3 these days (as well as a few Bessas) - the M3 is my favourite, is very usable, but is bigger and heavier than the others. Whichever you get on best with is the best, I would say, they're all nice in their own way.

Get the M2! I have a M2, M6TTL and a Minolta CLE (great AE camera). Which do I take out all the time - the M2. If you use anything wider than a 50, then the M2 is the one to get - beautifully uncluttered VF 35, 50, 90 frames. Buttery smooth action and lovely in the hand.
