[Leica] observations about the "More than 1 Ms" thread

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard F. Man)]

Of the people that mentioned which Ms they carry, I believe only two mix M7 
with other Ms. This could just be that M6/M4/M3 sold outnumber the M7 by 
many many factors, or it could be that like Ted suggested last year, it is 
just much easier to go with all Ms that work "similarly."

No one has mentioned using a Tri-Elmar for the situations where multiple 
lens choice is important. Probably different people have different reasons, 
but I suspect the size and slow speed are turn-off for some people.

Thanks for answering. Late last year I bought a used M6TTL and Noctilux to 
complement the M7. I sold the M6 a few months ago since I can use the cash 
more than I can use the camera then. Yesterday I just sold my Noctilux 
mainly because with the type of low light photos I do (costumers in 
horrible hotel lighting), a small amount of fill flash work better most of 
the time, and I still have my 35/1.4ASPH. I am somewhat itching to get 
another M7 since in the costuming shoots, a mix of 35 and 75/90 work very 
well. Then again, may be I should wait a couple months to get the Epsonina 
R-D1.
