"Canon doesn't make “pretty” cameras."
Who does? Leica? Nikon? It's a subjective matter. BTW, I won't by a camera I don't like regardless the best specifications it would have. How abou you?

You're referring to the OM-5 (Mark II)? Or the Leica M5?

The sadly unsuccessful Leica M5 has always been my favourite M camera. It was ergonomically perfect, even for large hands. Selecting the shutter speed was much easier than on the other Ms, and it had a perfectly implemented TTL metering system. My next favourite was the M 240, also criticised by Leica fans as being a bit too fat...
The OMs had shutter speed, focus and aperture selection all aligned in one plane, which I deeply hated! I almost never used my OM 2...And yet, they were fine cameras.
So, Maximilian, I could not agree more, ergonomics matter far more than design!
Just a detail: The first Olympus FF film cameras were initially named M1. Leica didn't like it, so they were renamed OM 1 etc...

Best looking cameras (fully subjective!!!) : Nikon F2, Nikon F, Canon F1, Leicaflex SL, Leica M4, Rolleiflex Planar f/2,8, Pentax Spotmatic, OM 4, Minolta SRT 303, Hasselblad 500 CM and sooo many more!
And then came the not so good looking digitals...
And yes, I'm no longer 20 years old!
