To each hims own..:-) Given that I need to add another body at some point,
have always liked the Nikon rangefinders - even if I never owned one, think
the 105 2.5 is one of the all-time great portrait lenses, and would love to
have a variable mag. viewfinder for the longer lenses, it is tempting...or
it would be if I could afford more than a peanut butter sandwich at the
moment...

IMHO the last think I need is another rangefinder system with its own set
of incompatable (with my other camera systems) lenses.  My Leicas will do
me just fine, thank you.

Now, if I could mount my M lenses on it, thats another story.  Actually, I
probably still wouldn't be interested.
