Excellent Camera

I have wanted a Leica for many years, but the cost was prohibitive. I am very pleased with this camera. The 25-400 Lens is perfect. Unlike the Nikons I have had for many years, the settings are very convenient. I do not use the auto settings for certain things such as f stop and ISO. On this camera, they are easily accessible.
