I went through this decision not that long ago. My thinking was that I could get a G2 with a lens *and* a Mamiya 7 with a lens for not that much money than I paid for "just" my M6 and 35/2 ASPH. (Mamiya was also running rebates, and B&H had a 10% off sale on them, as well.) Why choose between a 35mm rangefinder and entering the world of medium format when I could have both? Then I went to my local camera store and played with an M6 for half an hour. I was hooked. The G2 felt wrong in comparison. I also compared the Mamiya 7 with a 'Blad. I realized I wouldn't be happy with anything other than a 'Blad *and* an M6. And I wanted the M6 now. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
