Subject: [Leica] Reorganizing my equipment collection

Going through a very acrimonious divorce process, I just received a demand
letter from my ex demanding all of my photographic equipment acquired
before the separation date. That includes numerous M bodies including an
M8, and a bunch of lenses including some spectacular lenses like Noctilux
and APO Summicron 90mm.

Considering that she has previously claimed highly inflated values for my
equipment, I'm hoping that I would be able to get 50% of the value towards
a new set of equipment based on her valuation.

Looking at what I use the most, I think I'd be very happy with a MM,
APO-Summicron 50mm for most of my work, and Olympus OM-D E-M5 with a few
lenses for color work. In the film days, I used Leica exclusively for BW,
and a Nikon for color. I look forward to these simpler days.
