Ask Pat about the noct he sold me while I was semi-looking for one of them. IF I need a 200? Seems a strange way of putting it. I think I do and since I'm the one burning film it gets to be my choice, especially since I have both. I am aware of the limits of the M6 with lenses but it doesn't mean I can't use it for other types of photography. Yes, it's not my camera for track stuff but still a good tool for other uses. For instance, that is what I took to Ireland and left the Nikon SLR that you seem to think I have an undying love for. Sort of like any other craft, it sometimes takes more then one tool to do the job.
