Bob,

I do not think you are nuts. The Konica has many features (like AE) that some
like, plus the higher flash synch speed, built-in motor etc. None of these are
relevant for me, hence I would not trade any of my M bodies for a Konica. But if
you find them useful, by all means go for it. In the end it is the pictures that
matter.

There has been some discussion about Leica lenses on the Konica, though. So if I
were you, I would shoot a test roll with YOUR lenses and the actual Konica body
you are thinking of buying and evaluate the resulting slides or negatives before
committing funds.
