......In really low light nothing beats an M6 with Noctilux on it (the Leica
50 1.0 lens). While Canon makes a 50 1.0 for the EOS it just does not work
as well as a rangefinder. In really low light you can still see well enough
to focus the Nocti...with the AF it hunts and searches....and god forbid the
light from hell comes on to aid in AF! And when shooing in really dim
locations with odd lights the AF hunts and I find it DAMN hard to see
correct focus on the screen, esp in those dark finders of the EOS1n's...the
"M" I can easily see and do not get off focus shots.
Oh and for those of you who have complained about Canon service...all I can
say is try Leica's...I guarantee you will NEVER complain about any one else
again...In my experience Leica CS is the WORST by far.

I agree Harrison. The Leica R does not mean Reflex it means Repairs!
The only thing that drives me nuts on the Leica M is the 1/50 sync speed.
I prefere the Konica Hexar RF and the Konica lenses which are first rate.
Unfortunately, there is no F1 Konica lens for that system.
