I couldn't run fast enough to get rid of the Nikon (N90). I get much richer pics (to my taste anyway, which is what counts since I'm paying for it!) with the M6, I have a hard time to let go of the G2; although very soon I will have to part with it 'cause I ran out of budget and I need a 90mm and 135mm to complete my M6. My wife sat down with me and made sure I understood that I am not the government and therefore having a budget deficit is out of the question. Go figure...!!! :-) If you just bought the other pieces of equipment (ie. the Nikon and stuff) I strongly suggest that you refrain from conducting tests...or you will end up like me with a budget deficit and an eBay account to relocate the spare parts to another family!
