Subject: [Leica] M-3 > M-6 0.85??? Help!

Morning all,

i'm contemplating modernizing, trading some m-3's for the m-6 0.85 and
probably get some new lenses too (the aspheric article in the society mag.
i.e.).

i've recently been stung, 40mm C incompatible with one body (which?), some
terrible results with a summi 50 collapsible recently obtained...

so i'm thinking of shrinking what has become a 'collection' and get back to
a tight 'kit', 28 > 135 w/ the m6 085, and either the CL or 1 m3 if i can
afford it.

means de-acquiring 2 3's and a bunch of lenses -

i'm 44 yrs old, are the 3's going to last another 40 yrs???  maybe.....

what would you guys do? (i can but don't want to afford all of it, and--
how is the new collapsible elmar and does it fit the old Sooky-M or is the
new summi 50 any good <i still think the DR is sweet w/ or without eyes?>)
