Leica photogs usually have a serious photography budget -- otherwise they couldn't
afford to be Leica photogs.

At this point in time both the M6 and Hexar RF do a fair number of mutually
exclusive things,  while an electronic M7 with modern features like matrix
metering, high speed motor, and wireless off camera flash seems years off (if
ever).

Why not use the Konica RF as the logical 2nd camera companion to your M6 when you
need a compact motor, 1/4000th, 1/125th flash, or AE with AE lock ?

Isn't it a better solution to use both cameras, choosing each to suit whatever
shooting conditions you have to contend with?
