The ultimate Sin!! Leica sale

[MP Guy]

Steve,

Now that's not nice calling me an idiot and having more money than sense.

 

[ray_g]

That kit would make one hell of an RFF contest prize... 😉

 

[back alley]

26 grand is a lot of moola!!

 

[Leica Geek]

You can have my first born.

 

[ray_g]

Let this be a lesson... one is NEVER "done!"

 

[Ash]

you can have my first wife!

The sad thing is that he will buy another MP 6 months after he sells.

Heck, keep the MP and your 2 favorite lenses and you can still afford your DSLR dream kit and have some left for the bank.

 

[Pablito]

Consider keeping it AND going DSLR. I use both all the time....each for its own purpose....

 

[edodo]

DSLR just don't hold value at all.

If I my say, just sell three lenses that you like the least and sell the M8 too... Then get the pentax K10d plus 50mm 1.4, 24 f2 and 85 f1.4 that is just right for the money. DSLR will cost nothing in 5 years or so...

Just think that digital imaging is in its early state, and the dynamic range of every digi sensor camera out there, from the M8 to the cheapest digicam is very very narrow.
Fuji has a better ccd sensor! Now just imagine than in 5 years a new sensor shows up thats will have a better dynamic range better color depth etc... All your expensive gear today will then be reduced to nothing... Bad investment...

Selling everything seems crazy to my eyes!

D200 and 3 ED lenses and M2 with 3 classic lenses. 22K in the bank!

I'll trade you my first wife for a lens cap, front or back your choice, generic is fine. The most expensive lens cap in history, $250K.

Too late - He has already seen it. 😀

Maybe it's just the moon or something and this thread will go away when Joe realizes I broke the for sale rules.

Why buy Nikon if you don't already have a significant investment in the lenses? iF you're starting from scratch go smart and go Canon. Or at least wait for the Fuji S5. It will blow the doors off any Nikon!

I have lost my mind and am now seriously thinking of going DSLR 100%. I have a lot invested in the Leica gear and would rather put the money to better use. Regardless If I sell, it will be the complete kit. I do not want to break it up. Breaking it up will leave me with regretful feelings while I still see bits laying around. If I sell it as an entire kit it is all gone at once. So here you go.

All is like new with original box.

Asking 26k

Getting out of the Leica thing? What's next?

Good point Steve. However, I love photography but am one of those guys that thinks the grass is always greener on the other side. Since I cannot afford to buy all the gear I really want, I just buy what I want for the time being and when I get the itch to try something different I sell and buy again. A friend is doing a good job on convincing me to go the D200 / D2x route. So, lets see what happens. Maybe it's just the moon or something and this thread will go away when Joe realizes I broke the for sale rules.

Don't go that route. I owned the D200 (fantastic camera), but sure as heck not a reason to sell 26K worth of gear. You must have other, bigger ideas in your head if you're selling everything.

Maybe you want to buy an H3D kit?

Jorge your fickleness astounds me. I'm thinking up-market Stephanie, with apologies to Stephanie!

 

[jaapv]

Erwin Puts did this last year and he came back to Leica (not that everybody seems happy about that)........ BTW, you can get a very nice DSLR kit for 5000$. 26k$ is neither here nor there in comparison.😉

oh...I think the sale of RFF and all his gear probably have something in common.
