It was my very first Leica like camera. i was proudly carrying my two bodies everywhere I went. Light, excellent light measurement, some Leica lenses adaptable. I mostly used the excellent minolta rokkor 28/2,8 (that i still use and highly recommend) and the 40/2 (rapidly changed for the 50/1,4 even though the frame wasn't the same!). I did amazing pictures with it in mexico, Europe and the U.S.A, in b&w or color slide. The only two drawbacks were that the electronic didn't last forever (I had to unfortunatly stop working with it) and without batteries, the camera was totally useless. I miss that body nevertheless!

the pros : Lightweight/great measurement/Leica lenses acceptance/good flash system/easy to load/fast shutter/not too expensive/body well built.

the cons : Very bad electronics/finder hard to use in very low light/a bit louder than its big german cousin/totally useless without batteries.

Well, if the price seems correct and the condition mint , why not buy one ! You won't regret it !
