That allows me to keep what I have and buy and process film. More toys will take a bit of saving. But with summer coming I think I'll manage. I was able to afford a M6 and lens' by being a handy-man/house painter for a summer. Saved every penny and got the Leica gear. Next summer I did a big mural in a house. Another camera and lens =) Still do some photography for money (bands in clubs and at events, etc.), but mostly take pictures and do art that I want now. Don't have any friends who are photographers so none of my friends get what I'm doing, what's taking so long, why the flash didn't go off, or why they can't see the picture on the back of the camera... Don't know anyone else except my eye doctor who even owns Leica equipment. Oh wait, my ex-girlfriend bought a M6 after I got my second... but I don't think she ever got a lens... And she is a photographer!
