I now have figured out the camera I will use...

[gregarpp]

I have tried out almost every RF camera I could find..
I liked the M3 CLE and Hexar... but I ended up with a M6 .72 with the leica 1.25X adapter.

When I bought my 35mm SLR camera, I went for the glass first... Then bought a body to work with.

I took the opposite direction with the RF. Camera first, now lenses.

Lenses I have, and will probably keep.
Hexar 28mm/2.8
Rokkor 40mm/2.0
Leitz 50mm/2.0 collapsible (not sure about this one)
VC 75mm/2.5
Leitz 90mm/2.8 Leitz 90mm/4.0 Hexar 90mm/2.8 Rokkor 90mm/4.0

Not sure which 90mm yet.. Maybe the Leica 2.8 and Rokkor 4.0...

Now I need to start shooting more film....

secondly, i would like to say that i just wish i had half your camera budget!!

I did the same thing with RF. Camera body first, then lenses. Congrats on the M6!

That's a good collection of lenses. Bodies are a very interesting thing -- it's something that you really need to hold and use and decide which is best.

You've made a fine choice with the M6.

The M3 and Color Heliar is a nice set. That is the one 35mm kit that most attracts me in terms of sheer optical and mechanical beauty. I really love the heliar, and would have bought one by now if it weren't for the 100mm unicorn. And with that 1.25x mag, you're even better off.

The M6 is a much more reasonable camera for shooting, though, if you're not a magic eye metering guy.

What a perfect portrait camera that would be. The M6+75mm. Yummy.

I tried to shot a roll with the Konica 90mm/2.8 lens... but I didn't finish it.
I figure I would shot this lens first, since I really don't plan on keeping it.
I am not sure why I even bought it...

I DID shoot a roll of 220 with my new (to me) 100mm/3.5 hasselblad lens!!!

i have thought about that 1.25x magnifier. how does it work out for you? how much dimmer does it make the viewfinder? any other negative effects?
