Subject: [Leica] Do I need a second body?
From: Christian Moreno <christian.moreno@tecnomen.com>

Hi all dear LUGs
I´d like to ask for your advice. Actually I have a M6 with the following
lenses: 35 f:1.4 non-ASPH ( I´m not so happy with it at all, it´s serial
number is 328****, I think that is the uncoated one, rigth??), 50 f:2 and 90
f:2 non-APO. I think that this clasic set is enough for me, as longer or
shorter  ens I have some N**** lenses 
 I would like to buy a new body because sometimes I have to be changing my
lenses quite often, I have the 35 most of the time on the camera,around 70%,
the 50 around 25% and the 90 the rest of the time.
 I´d like to have a second body as a backup and for the 50mm lens mainly, or
even for having slides in one and B&W in the other. 
My main question is should I look for a second-hand body like a M3 or M4-P
or should I try to buy another M6, maybe the 0.85? Which one will fit my
requirements? I know that probably I will not use this second body as much
as the main one, is it worth to buy a new M6? or maybe the M3 option is
better?
Regards
