[Leica] New acquisition

[richard at imagecraft.com (Richard Man)]

Well, the answer is pretty simple, I think.

If it gives you joy, keep it, and until such time you need the money or get
tired of it, sell it then.

"Needing the money" may be as decadent as "needing" an M9, of course :-)

Lovely photo. If it is me, I will keep it for at least 3 months, before
making the decision. Good luck.
