How to choose Leica M2 and Leica M-A The price of Leica M-A is many times that of M2, but it has a brand new one.

I venture to say that the landlord is a novice at playing Leica.

Actually, it's easy to choose. Old birds choose, novices choose horses. Playing Leica never needs to question whether it is brand new or second-hand. As long as any Leica is properly maintained, it will not have any problems for decades, so veterans prefer old machines. After maintenance, the old machine is better than the so-called brand-new horse, because it is always handmade and assembled by hand, and the materials are thicker, and the horse is the product of mechanized production line, and its durability is different from the old one.

So if there is a new story, go to the horse. If there is no such plot, you can spend 10,000 RMB to buy a collector's grade at half the price of a horse, which is not much worse than the new one. The only difference is that it is fully mechanical without photometry, so it needs to be equipped with an exposure meter, while the horse is equipped with photometry, so there are many circuits inside the machine. In addition, the horse is a product of the production line, not all metal, but many plastic parts in it.
