Hell, I think I'm going to do it. Thanks to everyone for your input, both positive and negative! I just figured in the end that I've wanted a Leica M for ages, always thought I could never afford one, so here's an opportunity to get a new one, complete with 3 year warranty, at a good price. And I don't like the automatics of an M7 (or R3a) anyway.
Who am I trying to convince? Still myself??????
I'll go and get it tomorrow or Wednesday. Just hope someone else hasn't snapped it up in the meantime.
Anyway...that means that a few other things will have to go. I'll take some pics and post a proper "For Sale", but is anyone interested in:
1) Olympus 35 SP (AUD$100)
2) Rollei 35T (AUD$250)
3) Mamiya ZE SLR with a heap of lenses (AUD$600)
4) Contax IIa 50mm and 135mm Sonnars (AUD$500)
and of course.....
5) Bessa R2 black (AUD$600)
