When I started shooting some thirty five years ago, this was about the only way to do it. My first serious camera was similar to a Leica. It as a Nikon SP2 rangefinder with a 35mm lens. Shot with nothing but that for a long time. Then just a few years back, I spent the better part of a year shooting primarily with a Leica iiif RD, a camera just as basic as my old Nikon. Good experiences both.

Mike Johnston's little ode to simplicity and the Leica as a teacher.

I'm seriously thinking about giving the basic concept a try. Not with
a Leica though, but rather with either a Yashica FX-3 or Nikon FM2n
and a fast normal. I don't feel like paying the Leica tax and my FX-3
in particular cost less than the eBay/Paypal transaction fees on even
a cheap M.
