Guys, I am going M for now. Getting a repainted black M2. Time to shop for M lenses. However, I still want to keep R6.2 in mind. Will try to find a decent one. For now, my R lenses will go together with my Canon 5Dm2.

I had one, but "upgraded" to an R4 just for that reason. BTW, my R4 has one of the "bad" serial numbers but has been completely reliable in the three years I've had it. Another possibility to consider is a Leicaflex SL or SL2 instead of the R6.2. You get a larger and heavier beast, but a better viewfinder and many other things.
