OK. I pulled the trigger and ordered the SL with the 24-90 and an extra battery. I'll let you know when I get it. I am going to dedicate myself to learning to use it and like it. In the meantime, I have 6 Leica M6's in user condition for sale. Make me an offer ;-) Tina -- Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com tina-manley.artistwebsites.com
