All these exchanges make the LUG even more interesting.  At least almost
all, myself included, are in agreement that the G2 could never be a
substitute for an M6.   From my experiences with both cameras, they are
different cameras with differing strengths and weaknesses and requiring
their individual styles of usage. I still like to use both and I still have
more M cameras and only one lonely G2.  However, given the choice of only
ONE camera, I would go for the G2 as I begin to see the attributes of all
the bells and whistles built into this fine camera at such an affordable
price.  All said, holding the Leica-M still gets my heart pounder faster
than when I am holding the G2.  Don't know why this happens - must be the
leica mystique!
