Is there salvation for me or am I condemned to celebrate life's good fortunes with sentimental purchases? I have never owned Leica gear in the past and this is our first child. Think I'm suffering from the Leica bug - how long do the symptoms last? >> Explain to your wife that Leicas (including all the ones you have yet to buy) are an appreciating investment, much better than stocks or bonds, and will eventually fund your child's college education. That should buy you 18 years of ecstasy before the sh*t hits the fan. DT>> After 14 years of marriage, and after going from Rollei to Nikon to Leica R and now adding M, my wife is totaly oblivious to whether a body or lens is new. A decade ago, she might have asked whether a lens or body was new, but recently she didn't even question the appearance of an M6TTL after the R7 and R8!!!! (They are all silver after all!) Tom
