Leica CM Zoom Need opinions from owners.

<p>I would like to hear from Leica CM Zoom owners what they think of their camera. I have a chance to buy one and want to know if I am making the right choice.</p>

<p>I had the CM for a while, and I remember that, when the zoom model came out (I think I recall it was after the CM) it was generally considered a little bit inferior to its fixed lens big brother, a very good performer itself. Well, like a zoom vs a fixed focal, I guess, no more no less. And slower, as expected, if I remember well. That does not mean it is not good, but to know that, you will need a second, and third opinion from people who have actually used it. There must be some folks around here.</p>

<p>I had a leica cm briefly. ?The viewfinder was tiny, like looking through a tunnel.</p>

<p>I have a CM without zoom and when I did some research on it, I came across several people writing about a dreaded software problem with the zoom version which made the camera practically worthless as repairs are too expensive. I can only suggest that you google and search archives.</p>
