I have an M6 but, ideally, for this setup I would eyeing up a III series (maybe a one of the "K" type ones if I win the lottery). I think the Russars or the GR lenses Ricoh made or some of the MS Optical 'body cap' style pancakes would work well provided the latter are available in m39. I know...

The XA4 is unfortunately not manual or mechanical either but still a nice camera! Yeah the Leica's are the smallest cameras going but it's small enough seeing as there don't seem to be any other options for a reasonable enough price. Yeah I've had my eye on a few of them for a while.
