Everyone KNOWS there are no lenses better than M lenses!!! God told me that himself (he appeared to me as a Metz flash unit)! :) Seriously folks... just got my M6 and am LOVING it! Am seriously thinking of selling my 'user' M4-P just to help finance another lens purchase. I know that having two bodies is the way to go.... but..... sigh. Used the M6 on a wedding shoot (I was assisting and second shooter with Delta 3200, all existing light stuff- how remarkable to be shooting in a reception hall, candlelight and some ambient light from a spotlight aimed at the table centerpiece and be reading in my viewfinder that f4 @ 1/30th was 'good'!!??) anyway- have been moved by my "Leica experiences" to consider the purchase of an R body; but don't think I want to invest in an R8.... what are LUG suggestions for a reasonable user R body? Are there user R6.2 's out there, or is an R4 a better 'entry level'?? thanks, Bob Keene
