Dino,
If you like to stick to an SLR, then a Leica body is no match for an F6, as far as lenses are concerned, it is always a bit subjective, but if you put all the things together, The ZF line is superior to Leica SLR line by virtue of more recent designs, better 3d rendering and better flare resistance. I'd recommend in particular the 35/2 Distagon, 50/2 MP and 100/2 MP. If you buy from Matsuiyastore, you pay no duties or taxes and you save 50% on the price due to the strong EUR, I bought a dozen of lenses from them and never had a problem. You will probably have to fit a Katz Eye to your F6 to be able to focus properly.
As for the M line, this is another story, but there is such a wide choice of bodies and lenses now, including CV Hexanon Zeiss and Leica, that you can find your bargains. Again, if you take a little risk, and buy here second hand, asking for a USD 50 value statement, you pay no duties or taxes in Italy. So take it easy and calm down the BIG MONEY Leica fever... ;-)

Ciao Mfogiel,
I already have the original L type screen on my F6, so I hope I wouldn't need anything else.. however, ZF lenses and Zeiss Ikon (hoping not to be banned from such "Leica" forum!) are already among my next purchases, as soon as possible. As I told to Vieri, it's just a matter of having all the cards on the table.
Right now, however, I have both Zeiss brochure just aside the laptop from where I'm writing these lines..
Again, it's just a matter of taste, nothing personal against Leica stuff, nay!
