The choice between the Leica M6 and Bessa R2A is driving me nuts. On one hand, I know that deep in my heart, it is the Leica but am not really willing to part with that amount of money for a body. My excuse is of course I want the silver chrome one; somehow, I think even if there is a silver chrome one on sale, I would still hesitate to get it.
What about the R2A? It seems very attractive due to it having aperture priority and all but there is that concern of the supposed shutter issue and turning on on aperture priority. Of course, I know ultimately it is not the Leica that I have always been yearning for.
Even for the Leica, should I go for the M6 or M7? The latter is so much more expensive but has aperture priority which may be helpful once in a while. Maybe it is not worth paying so much for that little bit of convenience.
Another part of me is asking is it even worth getting another system altogether? Getting another body and lens when the Nikon is serving me well? Do I really need a quieter system? Should I be forking out that kind of money? A new system and camera would require more stuff like the case, strap, filter etc. ARGHZ!
