LOL. Perhaps the question should be "why should I stop?"ywenz said:
Seriously though what's the lens line up look like now? Presumably there are gaps still to be plugged?

Your going to have to post some pics from the 15. I've been tossing around the idea of a superwide for a long time now. I just love using my F3 with the 20mm.

Only two lenses in six weeks? I can't see the problem!

It's a curse, because you sold a perfectly good 50mm Summicron. Now you are doomed to a perpetual quest for optical perfection. Good luck.

you're just fine.
you're just fine.
you can't stop because you're one of us. And having the RFF gene implies enormous GAS. It's natural. I buy and sell cameras with the frequency of. . . a cheap HAM radio. Total cameras/lenses changing hands under my care this week : 4. That is about my monthly measure.

I too got a 15 recently. Film is stuck in the lab (they keep really weird hours), scanner is in the shop being fixed. Aaaargh!

peter, how do you protect the viewfinder from getting scratched? The small Domke bag I got for my Leica isn't wide enough for the M6 body+viewfinder. Plus I see the frontal glass element looks to be big and will be a huge scratch magnet.
