>>3872454Oh ya, forgot one:
Zeiss Ikon ZM (15-20 years old, very serviceable) ~$1400
If one has ~$700ish and wants an M mount RF...Bessa or CLE is the way to go
If one has $1200ish and wants an M mount RF...Bessa, Ikon, or M5 is the way to go.
If one has $2k+ and wants an M-mount RF, Leicas are surely worth looking into but comparing them to Bessas and the Ikon is still worthwhile.
If one has any amount of $ and wants an Leica RF, Leica is the only choice because you'll regret buying anything else.
