I shoot both Nikon and Leica, and am not messianic about the latter - for sports, etc, there is really no choice, its Nikon all the way. I would suggest you buy a Nikon digital. For street shots, people, low light shots etc is where the Leica M shines, effectively from the wide end to 90mm is IMHO the usable range. Cheers Jayanand On 10/23/07, Justin F.
