I don't get as sharp a focus with the 75 or Noct with my 0.72 M6 as I do with the M3. I learned photography with a Mamiya C22 and Tri-X and the guess exposure method. You will be surprised to learn how quickly you can guess the exposure within one stop in normal lighting. As to making money then break out the spotmeter and decide exactly where zone VIII and III will be. With Leica's I don't worry about using them up, maybe the grandchildren can finish wearing it out. The counter example is to buy a 85TTL but I would rather put the money in lenses: when I need TTL I use some Japanese SLR, again the money is already spent and the results work for what I need.
