I am restless....

(snip)..Seriously, life is short. Get the cam you want. Let go of the ones you're not using, however nice they are, and I think you'll enjoy shooting more and have fewer decisions to make about which cam to use.

Excellent advice, Gene.

Thanks guys. I read all the post prior to the change back so I don't think I have missed anything.

I am thinking that the sales will be listed shortly. Keep an eye open for them.

Anyone contemplating the purchase of an R2 or R3a, give me a shout.

I may end up with just a Canonet and Kiev for a little while if things sell quickly.
 
When I got my first M6 all my canon eos equipment was put out of work - only when I need the macro or the long teles I found use for the Canon - the red dot on the M6 says leitz not leica! and the M6 is much nicer design and better to hold then the M6 TTL - oh oh - There is only two mm difference but still the M6 is nicer. I keept my canon only because I did not have to sell it but now I feel more and more like selling it because of all the palstic and custom functions and crap really just put me off - The M6 is even cheaper than the M6 TTL and if you do not use flash why pay the extra $ ! The finder in the M6 is great with a 35 mm as you can se just a little bit more than the image not like on a SLR were you do not have a clue of what is going on outside the view of the lens. by the way is anyone on this list into olympus pen EE 1-2 an 3s or are they just to far from rangefinders?
 
Ruben, there's a practicality issue here in recommending the TTL over the M6 "sans TTL", and it is that the M6 is older, in general terms, and its electronics have aged more than those in the TTL. Besides, never say never... the day will come in which you wish you had a fill-flash.

I was initially shopping for an M6, but then I stumbled on a M6TTL body for a very good price, and bit the dust. The SF 20 flash complements the body in a beautiful way. Unconvinced? Check this out...
 
Okay, I'll play devil's advocate then...

This will make you happy,.. for a while.

You want a break, junky? Get out your Holga, use it, and remember what attracted you to photograpy in the first place. An M6 isn't the answer. I've seen your Holga gallery. They're quite good.

You have to let go. It will be okay. I promise.
 
Thank you for the compliment Chris. Your advise is very good, and the answer to most of our GAS, there is nothing like burning some film.

I still am thinking that one camera is better than two though, it will makes taking the pictures more important than what your are taking them with. I made this problem by buying all this stuff, now I want to solve it.

Though, I have not had a lot of time to get out and shoot recently. I may have to skip out of work on Friday and have some Rover time.
 
Why am I reminded of Animal House???

ROVER! Buy the M6! Come-on, you know you want it!

Do it! Do it Now!

One is just sitting there Waiting For YOU!

Look at the WIDE BASE on that rangefinder!

...

Face it Rover, you trusted us...





And you thought my 1,500th Post should be profound?
 
I could not resist. Old movies and ancient comedians have shaped my sense of humor. Chris earns his angel wings. How come we don't have a devil smiley?

You can't be guilty of "GAS" when you are selling off such fine equipment to upgrade to a more expensive camera. I find it hard parting with anything, and certainly have too much gear to show for it. But most of it has film in it, and gets out every so often. Even the mint SP. When I sell something, I prefer putting it here at RFF where I know it will get used.
