But the M6 does remain my default camera. Dan, Sounds like a wise move. Minolta makes some very interesting stuff. And this Minolta 9 looks like an XK for the 90s. If I were to drop the R system (knock on wood) I would seriously consider it. Why not? They have 35mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 300 2.8, 600 f/4 and an 80-200 2.8. Not sure about a fast wide zoom. But price-wise, I bet they are pretty good bang for the buck. And a really cool flash system to boot. (Sorry, Ted). But the likelihood I'd ever leave Leica R again...well I've been wrong before! ;-) - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Common sense is those prejudices laid down by age 18.
