Subject: [Leica] S-3.... rambilings

If I had 5 grand laying around that I didn't know what to do with I'd buy a
Nikon S-3.... after all used ones are pushing $3000.....   

On the other hand.... If I had five grand laying around... I'd buy a
Noctilux and a 35mm Summilux and a couple of M bodies.... so maybe I should
say... If I had 10,000 I'd buy a Noctilux and a 35mm Summilux and a couple
of M bodies and then a Nikon S-3.....

On the other hand if I actually had $10,000.... I'd probably buy a Noctilux
and a 35mm Summilux and a couple of M bodies and a R6 2 and a 70-180 f/2.8
so I should probably say that if I had $15,000,  I'd probably buy a Noctilux
and a 35mm Summilux and a couple of M bodies and a R6 2 and a 70-180 f/2.8
and then a Nikon S-3.

But if I really had $15,000:  I'd probably buy a Noctilux and a 35mm
Summilux and a couple of M bodies and a R6 2 and a 70-180 f/2.8 and another
R-62 and the 35-70 zoom....   So I should really say if I had $20,000,  I'd
probably buy a Noctilux and a 35mm Summilux and a couple of M bodies and a
R6 2 and a 70-180 f/2.8 and another R-62 and the 35-70 zoom....  and then
the Nikon S-3.....

But to be honest, If I had $20,000, I'd probably buy a Noctilux and a 35mm
Summilux and a couple of M bodies and a R6 2 and a 70-180 f/2.8 and another
R-62 and the 35-70 zoom.... and I've always wanted a nice clean A, M2, IIIF
and a IIIG for my collection,  I'd probably buy those before a S-3

So.... In other words.... I'm would have to have a lot of extra cash laying
around before I'd buy a Nikon S-3.... And I'd rather buy a M6J or Millenium
version anyhow.....

In the meantime.... I will continue to say my pennies for a Noctilux.....
