Subject: Re: [Leica] M6 all the way or Keep my R system?

I think you should keep both systems. Use the R4 when you need tele lenses
or Macro, and the M6 for the rest of your photography. You can do a lot with
only 35 and 50 mm M-lenses!
Expand each system slowly, when you find lenses at good prices, that is part
of the fun.
