I don't only think about that, but also "This could be almost two months
rent!" But I still buy the lens anyway.

Hello all,

I wonder if you guys ever get this way.  Everytime I consider buying a new
(used) lens for my M2, I think about the price, then think about what I
could
purchase instead of the lens.  I'm young and don't make a lot of money, so
it
always seems to make so much more sense to get a camera like the Fuji
GW-670..
The negs are bigger, and the lens they say is pretty sharp, at any rate
better
and smoother resolution.   I think I can even get the 645 Fuji rangefinder
for
as cheap as a used 50 summicron and that thing is as small and unobtrusive
as a
Leica.    What do you guys think?  Is it just me?  I'm not even sure what my
point is.  Oh well.
