[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been losing sleep over a possible (imminent?) Leica purchase; new M6TTL and new 50 f/1.8. I've been a long-time Nikon user and will continue to be. Just wanting to; 1) refresh my photography with a more thoughtful system (meaning that I will be more thoughtful when making photos as opposed to pointing and shooting with an F5), 2) have a camera with me at ALL TIMES, and 3) enjoy the experience of using the Leica for what it is, and isn't. I have been reading the LUG for about two months and enjoy it. Three questions; Have any of you felt remorse over spending this kind of cash on a Leica outfit (I'm looking at $3000 U.S.), and if so, why? Will my proposed set-up meet my 3 needs outlined above? Should I buy it at B&H, Chatterton or where? Thanks in advance for your comments. Tim Kamke
