I love my M6 & 50mm summilux....as much (or more than when I bought them new 
for $3800 back in 2000.  They are a pure joy to hold, use, and own. Just 
bought a D300 w/ 17-55mm 2.8 and it does a fine job...I still love taking 
pictures with the M6!

Especially if it turns out they're planning and wanting 10 grand from the
full frame.
Or 8 even.

You can get a digital back for your Hassy for 8 now.
That's what the first canon full frame cost. 8 grand.
They couldn't make enough of them. 8 years ago.
