Tom, that will make things more difficult! I'll be at the RFF meet on sunday, so if you're going then we could have a chat then. I won't afford an M6 for a loooong time however!
don't tempt me bout those damned rollei 35's! I could buy one for £100 today, but I gotta resist

You have me worried I've only sold two cameras in the last five years, both were digital and cheap.
So you dont have GAS you have BASS (Buy And Sell Syndrome) you seem to be as bad as Joe (Back Alley). I have GAS, the guys at work caught me taking empty cardboard boxes from work and said 'You want these for storing cameras in don't you...'

That's funny. I cleaned my room yesterday and filled three boxes with cameras. A box of Parts Retina's, box of inexpensive SLR's with lenses, box of FSU cameras.
And I have SIX lenses coming in.

Heh - you would be fine; the M2 and 3 are NICER than the 6 so don't worry about that. Sadly I'm not heading up to London until a few days too late for Chinese New Year, but I'll be around Bristol just to walk the streets with a camera on Friday and probably Monday as well.
And the Rollei, if it appears, will be a 2.8e!

Eventually my friends got fed up with matchmaking and started to playing a record (black vinyl then) from the past about beauiful stangers in a queue...
I tend to buy at the same rate as you and Ash but retain, hence the cardboard boxes, I need to keep Palm) PDA records of which cameras have which film in them, if you gotta palm I'll send the shortcuts, so I'm bad, not harsh.

I just started using a Tungsten T5, over a Palm 5 or whatever I had before. Gotta remember to get the Massive Dev Chart and spreadsheets on it.

Ash, i got a M2 for about euro425 (from europe...no tax, low shipping cost) from a forum member here. There are good deals ouyt there, just don't rush.
Oh and the M2 was serviced a year ago or two, and it works all fine.So no extra costs (besides the bunch of film and developer I just bought from freestyle).

NIKON KIU
Did you say Nippon Kogaku
Ash,
Do NOT listen to these Leica Freaks around here...you do NOT need an M2 or M3.
Listen to a Nikon freak.
I know exactly what you need and its a Nikon S2!!
Think about it..a meterless pure camera with lines for a 50...
Tell him joe...how many Leica CLs does it take to mature to a Nikon S2??

Noel - that's my point 
J - I'm not all that keen on bessa's. The built quality isn't really comparable

Nikons seem to be cheaper the other side of the pond. Kiu probably does not realise.

Drugs are not that bad. Certaily cheaper than camera GAS, and some of them are not that addictive as rangefinders.

Pherdi, trust me - I doubt I could pop a pill for every photo I take, and still have something to my name.
