Mark,

My situation exactly - hence being available to move to the Nikons (because
recently, being unable to afford more M bodies!!).

And yes, it is a pain carrying along different systems. But to change the
subject, the M's (even the TTL) still can't do the fill flash thing that the
Nikons can. I love their flash system - and a longer lens every now and then
is useful.
