i think i need another camera...

If it was me, Joe, I'd go looking for a Canon P again. Why not, really? You loved them enough to have three of them once. You'd need to get an accessory finder for the 28mm lens, but the CV 50 would look very nice perched on a P.

Barring that, I'd go for a Bessa R. There's no real reason to buy another M mount body for screwmount lenses.

Photovillage Bessa R with 35mm f2.5 classic skopar and case for 400 dollars..
then sell the skopar if it's redundant.. or that mechanical R3m 50 anniversity set with the f2/50 collapse heliar is quite pretty.. at 1050 dollars.. but then you gotta buy screw-to-m adaptor rings..

Hello, alley! Peter Dima is here. 3 HP5+ films are in my bag( u know what I'm talking about - thank you again!)and I am waiting for camera with framelines to try some photos with nice, Ilford B&W films... Sorry, but if you have Z.I. body( that's correct?) - what else you have to do? - to shooooooot - and stop thinking about new equipment -regards!

Buy a user M3 for it. You won't regret it.

 

[dexdog]

except he recently sold a user M3.

It's time to take the digitals serious.
Why not an R-d1? And buy a 35/1.7 too...😀

[Pherdinand]

Socke -

😱

[Pherdinand]

i won't ... it might convince me that I need another camera.

 

[back alley]

pherdi, you DO need another camera, no doubt!

lol!

 

[GeneW]

Maybe a nice little fixed-lens RF as a walkabout cam? An XA will fit in a belt pouch...
