I love shooting with Leicha M's; they suit my photography and my way of working almost perfectly. And even though it's heretical, or ignorant, to say so, I like the cameras as much, if not more, than the lenses. Don't need a G2 either. I have both a Yashica T4 Super and a Rollei Prego Zoom for family snaps. They work great. I'm all set in the point-and-shoot department.
