What to keep?

[begona]

I have M3 (CLAd) with Cron DR and M4-2 with 35f1.4 Lux (pre) and I must sell one combination.

I used to M3 and 50mm lenses but this f1.4 on summilux "calls me".

I prefer M3 because it is classic,legend...but m4 is newer...

What would you do if you were on my place?


Thanks

Ps...check my new RFF gallery and be free to make a comment

Why CLA it if you're going to sell it? Keep the M3.

I would keep the M4-2 and the lux. You can add back a 50 later to use on the M4-2 later, when funds permit. After all, the 35 "calls" to you, but it can't be so easily shot with the M3. The M4-2 is a more practical body for your needs, so keep it. And you'll probably get more for the CLA'd M3 than the M4-2 anyway.

Disclosure/bias: I am a fan of the M4-2 (M4-P as well).

These days the Summilux 35-pre alone fetches 1500e if it's in good condition..

M4-2 and 35mm would stay because I mostly shoot 35mm and have the option of 50mm. M3 overhauled is worth more too.

I agree... plus there are great cheap 50mm options out there.

Sell the M3 and the 50. You can always and easily replace them.

A good DR is hard to replace.

A pre-asph 35/1.4 is easy to replace, for example by the 35/1.4 Nokton.

Keep the M3 and DR.

I'd follow Roland's advice.
