Hi Alex,

I'm in exactly the position that you mention.  I have a comprehensive bessa
R outfit and now I want to sell it to finance a growing Leica M outfit.  The
problem is that the new Bessa R's are being heavily discounted and
consequently the re-sell value is much lower than anticipated.

The Bessa is a fine camera but once you've handled and used an M6, you will
probably wish that you had one.  With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had
gone straight to the Leica M.  In the long term, it would have been much
cheaper!

HIH
