Ouch on paint as always. And I've heard both of them take ages to get anything back to you. As for the rapid load, suprisingly cheaper than I thought it would be.

There is a time and place for everything. And that place is called College.
Another Leica should appear way down the list of everything me thinks
Roland.

Do you see anything wrong with the pictures you're taking?
I don't.
Consider listening to the wizen advices given here. When I don't entertain GAS, and taking pictures instead, I am happier in the long run.
Just a thought!

Hey the local shop around here just bumped the price of Tri-X a buck.
HP5+ is cheaper, and thats just wrong. A the fact that I can't get Neopan sucks.

Well then stop me from looking at the "Lets see your Leica" thread.
Damn M2's with brown skin look so good.

I need a tore up M2 with bad Vulcanite.
I just can't do it to the one I have now, its to clean
in that department.

Thank you!
Thank you!
For a minute I thought I was sounding too old and fatherly.
And another thing...
Thank your lucky stars that you already have a kit that I could only dream about when I was in school. Thank your lucky stars that you already have a kit that some folks have based their whole careers on. That's right. An M body and the 35mm Summicron. GOOGLE around and you'll find the gentleman based in Japan who works with 2 M bodies and 2 35mm Summicons. Period. Like Einstein's wardrobe, it takes all the worry out of lens selection.
Give yourself a few years before you add the second body & lens and you'll be set for life.

I'm beginning to roll all my own film.
Just did my first 100' last week.
As for a kit:
An M2 (M3) with my DR 50/2 and an M4 (M4-2/M5) with my 35/2.
Thats all I really want, and lots of film, lots and lots of film.

... likes film again.

Sounds like a good plan to me. To my experience, the more you shoot the more you learn which camera-(features) you really need to get the photo YOU want. Some prefer a onboard meter, some AE, some a meter-less camera. It is a pure personal choice.

Well I've found out a lot by shooting, and a lot from reading on the internet (including this website) about the Leica M series and its odd and sometimes useful features.

I just want a second body out of shear gear lust.
But beyond that, a second body will give me the use of two films,
two seperate lenses, and the shear lure of two Leica's on my neck.
