When I heard about the new M-A (the M-Analog according to Dr. Kaufmann) I was not so sure it would be popular. Wouldn’t most film fans prefer the MP with its built in light meter or, even, the automatic M7? If I did want an all mechanical film camera, why not just buy an M3, M2 or M4? However, I cannot claim to be a film buff but I know someone who is. He is Bellamy Hunt of Japan Camera Hunter and he thinks the M-A is orgasmic. I allow, it’s a handsome beast and already a couple of my friends have their names down for the first coming.

  1. This is a great camera and can’t wait to get my hands on one. It will be another classic and a good investment.
