Yes, but the G2 has some serious shortcomings compared to the M6. Like slower lenses (easier to design a focusing system for) and it's more an amateur-oriented camera. The Minolta CLE was a great camera, but the meter didn't work in manual! Not a pro feature. The reason the Nikon would cost more is the tools would have to be created, where Leica amortized them long ago. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Backups?
