   Oh, I am heavily invested in film. I create my own chemicals, soup my own
films, print, mount.. you name it.

   So, there won't be any digital for quite some time!

   I had my eye on the M6.. Price is definitely a consideration. Right now I
mostly use my 501 c/m. I carry it in my hand, and ever so often I meter and
adjust the camera. The F5 was almost only for sports shooting. But I don't
shoot sports as much. I got tired of burning 30 rolls of E6 in a day only
liking 3 of the entire bunch. So I am looking for a small light camera that
I can take with me everywhere..

   It's either a Leica, in which case I dump all the Nikon gear, or, I just
get an FE2 or some other smaller manual focus Nikon..

   Thanks for the suggestions.

   J
