After seriously rethinking my current gear (something I do at least once a week-:) I decided to sell my F3HP, N80, and Nikon primes as a package on eBay (got 13 bids on the first day BTW). After using the M6 for a while I came to the conclusion that a modern computerized SLR is for situations where you really need fast autofocus, fast motordrive, extremely accurate metering in almost any light, aperture priority, and high quality zooms. So, my Nikon arsenal has been reduced to an F5 and two of Nikon's best zooms (IMHO) the 28-70/2.8 AF-S and the 80-200/2.8 AF-D. When I am shooting anything with fast moving action such as sports I love this setup. For any other 35mm situations my M6 is all I need. Peter
