I had the Konica and it was nice but limited speeds and large. Did not like the feel or operation of the Leica (yeah, I know, Thems fighten words pardner), a G1 - - very nice but never filled MY needs/wants, if I wanted something that big, might as well use the M6, a T2 - disliked the controls, especially the flash control, and a Nikon 35ti - wanted something wider. Also still have the Nikon 28ti and my current favorite the GR1. The GR1 gives you P or A modes and has an excellent lens (for my use anyhow) and the best part is, the camera fits in your pocket. Now, I expect that the reason they make so many models is to fit the different quirks of different people.
