and, yes, I do have the M6, I look at the stuff I've shot with the G2 over the years. I've been drooling over the 75/2 and 90/2 Summicrons but realize that the results with those lenses will not be any better than those taken with my 90/2.8 Sonnar and the G2, so the urges quickly go away. Silly post, yes, but I just thought I'd share some feelings. :)
 
So you better don't start thinking about the 75/1.4 'Lux - because at the end you'll buy it (at least that's what happened to me...)

When I get it, I usually compare prices of Leica lens hoods against the 45 Planar, and the feeling passes.... :)
 
I remember that I can't afford a Leica, or even a Bessa for that matter, and that I have a wonderful Canon P with decent Russian glass. That's enough for me right now.

Go you Leica fans, stay away from Contax please.

But what about us poor sods that like - and own - both Leica and Contax? :D
 
Judging from the quality of your work, Charles, you don't need Leica, unless you want to.
The contax seems to be serving you just fine. Excellent work in your gallery :)
 
Thanks, Tom...the G2 has served me well. :) I sometimes suffer from "the grass is awlays greener" syndrome, but usually snap out of it quickly. I got sucked up into the digital world but have safely returned to using film as much as I can. Most models I work with these days don't want prints, just CDs, so digital is quick and easy, but for everything else...film.
