Yes, I have been seduced indeed, only since September though. It was right before my wife and I came back to spend the winter in Prague (from Detroit). My F3 needed some heavy duty work (front casting replaced) and I was looking to replace it. I bought a used F3 from Midwest Camera in Ohio (they said it was a 9) which turned out to have a bad lens mount. I sent it right back and bought a new M6 TTL .85 Chrome and a 35/2 asph. instead. I've been wanting to move to the Leica RF or some years now, but never could put together the cash (or justify it I guess). Not so much because of the quality of the images it produces (I've always been very happy with my Nikons) it's just that the RF system is much more suited for doing the kind of shooting I do now. As far as quality goes, I'm very pleased with the results from the M6 and 35/2 so far but I'm one of those people who believe that it really doesn't matter what camera you use as long as you make nice pictures with it....
