One day I ended up finding a link on the internet about Leica, the LUG. I bought an M6 because of you people on the Lug and I am very glad I did it. Mind you I could afford it. Bear in mind that I could be one of these morons as I feel that I am still in the infancy of photography. >> - ----------------------------------- Francois, The price of your equipment and how good you are as a photographer are mutually exclusive. Buy what you can afford, buy what gives you enjoyment & satisfaction, don't look back and give no apologies. In the camera shop I frequent, I see plenty of first time buyers (new shutterbugs) buying tons of Leica R and M equipment (as well as Hassy's with 4 or 5 lenses!) without a clue as how to use it. More power to them! If you start with the best, you'll never go C or N. And we need more people in the Leica camp! If I were to beleive that thread here last week "Leica and 15-year old technology," which pretty much said "Leica's are simple to use and we like it that way!" I can't think of a better camera for a beginner!! I wish I would have had this advice when I started, I'm sure I would have spent less money over the years with Leica than with Minolta, Nikon, then Leica (and I still would be using the R3!).
