Life's a Bitch - New Camera - Again
Well life really does throw up some challanges when one least expects it and for reasons various my Leica has to go, am absolutely gutted to be having to do this, I truly am, but some things in life are more important. Don't get me wrong, i fully intend to come back to Leica in a year or 2 and maybe the M10 by then.
In the meantime I need another camera and a few options spring to mind. I am sellingl the M9 and 90mm teleelmarit (this is a given), keep the Zeiss 35mm, buy a Zeiss M 21 mm and Ricoh GXR. This allows me to carry on shooting with an effective 32mm and 53mm set of lenses which I can take on to the Leica system in the future. However, having tried the leica 35mm F2, I much prefer its usability to the Zeiss, so would be prepared to sell the Zeiss and buy just a leica 35mm F2 or 28mm f2.8, maybe even a used 21mm f2.8 and away we go. That is kinda option 1.
Option 2 is to sell the lot, buy a Fuiji X100 or X10 and the difference in terms of cash, although not essential, goes towards that "life challange" above.
Option 3, sell the lot, buy a used canon G9 and same as above.
Option 4, sell the lot and buy a used Fuiji X100 and same as above.
Life can be a bitch, but as long as I can take pictures I will be happy, any thoughts much appreciated.
Cheers
