Believe me I needed a P&S. I got my M6 about 2 months ago with 4 lenses. The M6 with the four lenses is easier to carry than the F5 with one. The P&S's might end up on ebay the way things are looking. Sam Krneta Sam I don't buy it that it's a "given" that besides a persons Leica M camera there is this obvious need for a point and shoot camera and which one do you have. Unless one is building on their collection of 4x6 snapshots. Then it wouldn't make too much difference WHAT you shot when. And i DO agree it doesn't matter much which brand you get they all seem to be made by Panasonic or Kysocera or Mitsubishi. A Leica rangefinder camera is a compact unobtrusive machine, meant to be with you, not stay out home. A CL is even more compact, and a LTM or screwmount is still even more compact. Point and shoots make you lazy in funny ways which makes me crazy. I'm not looking for easy excuses or otherwise the means to keep my M6 at home. I'm building on the discipline to take it with me most everywhere i go. Although i get into Leica out of my Love for my Rollei 35. The Rollei 35 now tends to stay at home. I bring my Leica. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
