I do not use the macro capabilities, and don't see myself desperately needing them in the future. I also would love to have a smaller 90-100mm lens that weighs about half, but is of equal quality. I can wait until February to get that new 90, since I still have my 90/2 non-APO. I have been using my M6 almost every day now, and carry it in a small Samsonite video camera bag with compartments that works very well, is nicely padded, and has a comfortable leather shoulder strap. After having used the R and M side by side, and having used both cameras separately for world travel "assignments," I find the M fits me and my style best. No offense.....after all, you still have an M, right? :-) Francesco At 05:28 PM 11/20/98 , Eric Welch wrote: >At 03:25 PM 11/20/98 -0800, you wrote: >>I am selling out of the R system completely for more M >>stuff, so take these before I change my mind. >>I will ship FedEx overnight on Monday to the best offers. >> >>Leica 100/2.8-R APO-MACRO-ELMARIT ROM, EX+ body, MINT glass, >>both caps, leather case, box, manual, warranty available through me, >>make me a reasonable offer.
