I shoot with M and R (and SM) Depending on WHAT you want to do I might also consider used gear. With used R gear in particular you get a great deal of value for your money. If you buy an R6 there is no sense paying for a ROM lens...and many many dealers still have stocks of older R lenses they are quite eager to sell... R6 bodies seem to be 600-800 on ebay 50 f2 perhaps $250 35 2.8 and 135 2. perhaps 250-350 each You commented on your F3 being both big and heavy...the R cameras are about the same size and weight. The R8 is quite a handful. I shoot with shoot both Nikon and Leica and I find the fit and finish of Leica superior (no loose Leica lenses) Dealers also seem eager to sell M6 cameras as well $1250-1500 should get you a new one. Happy shopping (BTW you might see if you can get a bid of a bidding war between Gassners and K&H both good folks...also Glazers in Seattle might be worth a call as they have a rather large stock of R stuff and it does not seem to move quickly) Mark - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
