I seen a M4-P for 890 euros (1 year waranty) and I see a M4 for 600
euros
with a waranty of 6 months.

The M4-P seems to be more interesting... In case of the use of a 28mm.
In my fist buy I'll use a 50/2. I love this focal length.

Not as cheap as a M4 or M4-P with a 50/2.
The cheaper that I can see is 1300 euros for the M6 !
