Keeble and Shuchat also have a rental department across the street, so
see if you can rent some of their equipment.  An M6 and a 50mm will
cost maybe $50 for a weekend.

If you're already thinking in terms of buying a whole collection
of Leica stuff, you're probably on the wrong track, but that's just
my opinion.
