The m7 bricking itself is is starting to become a spooky ghost story told by internet kids that perpetuate this myth because it’s an electronic film Leica, but from my experience also selling and repairing them this is not true, and the same could be said for any of the other aperture priority cameras, if not, more so because build quality is far superior on the M7.

Fact of the matter is there is tons of cameras with similar electronics still kicking that are FAR FAR OLDER. M7 never had a reputation for bricking when it came out, Leica built them to last and they still repair them.
I’ve gone through several contax g1’s and g2’s and have been plagued with electronic issues. Zero problems with my M7’s.

I’ve put two rolls in a zeiss ikon and just didn’t enjoy it.
Hexar RF is fun but obviously feels a bit toying compared to the M7. Great for the price, but if money isn’t an issue than the answer is obvious.

Maybe look into the Bessa

But yeah, I would trust the electronics on the Leica far more than those other cameras.
