For some reason, Benedict XIII expected me to apologize for this post. Odd, but I'll play along. Therefore, I apologize for Benedict's post. (No, I'm not Benedict XIII.)

But maybe her husband? :angel:

No offense, but this is the kind of sexist garbage that doesn't belong in these forums.
You have NO IDEA what he exactly meant and to suggest it warrants contempt from you is fairly ignorant. My husband, who is also my best friend, might impulsively think he should sell something, but I may talk him out of it - because I know long-term he'll regret it. It has NOTHING to do with "meddling" and everything to do with actually caring about him. Not every husband expects or wants their wife to shut up and "butt out" of their "personal affairs".

my wife is usually right when stopping me from selling a camera.

Koh's camera has a mint used one, black, in the used Leica category for $750.

It's a mystery ...
Maybe, there is a ZI Monster out there that eats them up?
Or, users of ZI cameras hold on to them?
No clue.

That's probably because she knows if you sell one it'll give you a good excuse to buy another more expensive one. It's the onset of a GAS attack

Thanks Amy, that's exactly my situation. Of course I'm *allowed* to sell my ZI, my wife just thinks I'd end up regretting it. It's no big deal.
The only downside to keeping it is that now I will want to buy more lenses for it

Well I got my two ZI's and I don't plan on ever selling them.

I think, DRabbit, this was a poor attempt at humour?
Maybe that should be 'hope', not 'think', but I do indeed hope my fellow human beings aren't morons.
You gonna dump your lemon M6 ???

Put me in the camp of could afford a ZM but decided on a used M6 instead. I figured it has a larger user base with more repair people and more spare parts availability. Plus its a Leica
Same with me.

Oh dear.
It is always disappointing to find out that a ludicrous post is an act of idiocy, not of humour.
Once can only hope Boniface has an equally stupid wife. And they've decided not to have children. Now that would be sordid.

It's the same w/ the Hexar RF. Hardly ever see one of these for sale either. Both cameras have great features, and are a heck of a lot cheaper than an M7. Almost bought a Hexar RF (there's one on the KEH website in Bgn condition for $480 something I think, which is a steal), but I backed out at the last minute. It's an all electronic camera w/ no support and a viewfinder mag of only .60. Of course, the correct thinking is that you can replace it 2 or 3 times for what an M7 costs, but I'd rather just buy an M6 w/ less features, but known reliability and high resale value. And it's a Leica.

My M6 is on it's way to youxin for a RF adjustment. So far i'am a little disappointed specially when i find my Canon QL17 is easier to focus than the leica. I'am starting to wonder if i should have gone with a zeiss. I was just scared off b/c i put it in the same group as the bessa R i owned (horrible loud raspy thing)

The best camera is one that still works!
The Ikon is no Leica in it's shutter sound but it's a nice 'snick' none the less and nothing like the Bessa ... raspy is a good description for the Bessa OMO! I was using the Ikon the other night and someone next to me actually commented on how much they liked the sound of the Zeiss's shutter.
The position of the meter readout could be better though ... when you have optimum eye position for the rangefinder patch the meter readout tends to get hard to see. One of the few faults of a near perfect design IMO!

I've seen them pop up from time to time, as someone has already mentioned there is one at KEH, plus, if you are lucky enough to live in New Zealand, you could buy this one:

I honestly think people choose to keep them, you get used to the lightweight, the built in metering and the brilliant viewfinder. Why change?

That's probably my only real complaint with my ZM. I guess it's a factor of the viewfinder being so large, that the meter information is pushed a long way to the left, rather than being more central.

Then why are you selling? =D
Honestly I was about to jump on your VC meter the other day... thought the better of it. Nice beaten up M3 btw =)
