No doubt, Moose is correct when referring to a choice of rangefinder
with Leica and SLR with Nikon. However, a potential Leica owner could
also have chosen a Nikon rangefinder. This was Nikon's state of the art
in 1957 and arguably more advanced than a Leica of the same
period.<http://www.cameraquest.com/nikonsp.htm>
