Subject: RE: SHOW ME THE MONEY! aka $3,340

I've really enjoyed reading the "Show me the money" thread. But my question 
is, what are my other camera choices? I have an M6 and 2 lenses for it 
(35/2, 90/2.8). Both the camera and lenses have great tactile feedback. The 
body is incredibly strong, and every time I change film, I admire the cool 
zinc frame! As for the lenses, they have a nice heavy feel, notplasticy, 
aand great optics to boot. So if I look at Nikon, where can I find an 
equvilant small "Tank-like" camera? The F5 is supposed to be great, but 
it's a big weight to take on day hikes. And the current Nikon lenses feel 
flimsy compared to Leica (maybe great optics though). The autofucus makes 
the Manual focus ring adjust way too easily. Nikon FM2? Same lenses. I 
don't know much about Canon. So that leaves Contax I suppose. And from 
them, The G2 is pretty nice. BUT, it has a LOT of plastic in it, and 
MOTORS. and ELECTRONICS that will be outdated even next year! So even 
though the M6 costs more up front, it will be worth more later on (I hope), 
and its' service life should be longer (I hope).

Sorry to ramble I just woke up.
Bob
