I know the feeling Julian,
I upgraded long ago from the SL and SL2 via R3 and R5 to the R7,
however I wouldn't dream of selling
the earlier cameras. Even the cameras I sold to get started into my
Leica "collection" are sometimes sorely missed,
particularly the Rollei SL2000F, and a couple of Zeiss-Ikons I used to own.
I was considering the 24mm quite a while back, but then a 21mm
Super-Angulon turned up to join the 28mm I already had,
and the gap between them didn't really need to be filled any more.
Although I scarcely ever use them these days, my SL2Mot
with the 250/4 is still the most "exciting" set up I can imagine, but,
once again, I wouldn't even consider selling them.

I also think we are all much better prepared to do something about world
hunger, injustice and inhumanity if we start from a position of
being happy and contented in the first place..

Actually, I already own the SL, R4, and now an R8. I had the old R4 and then bought the SL to use with my 400mm and my 180mm, because of the SL's viewfinder. Then, after buying it, I invested in it further by having CLA, upgrade of the take-up spool, upgrade of the lens release button, and upgrade of the meter cell with the newer more sensitive unit.
In truth, I haven't used my long lenses as much as I had anticipated. So, I hate to have the big investment in this camera which won't take my 24 and 19 (new type)--but I am reluctant to sell it, because I fear I will regret that move, sooner or later. These problems do not rival world hunger or man's inhumanity to man, but I do hate to have such a loveable camera that can't use my wides.
Thanks for your interest..................Julian
