Jim, You will probably not find a more knowledgeable group of Leica relex users than this one. I am using both Nikon and Leica; only because I can borrow lenses in Nikon that I do not have in Leica from my Nikon user friends. I like my SL finder (slightly blue'ish though; probably from age) but don't think it's better than my F2. These are both my best mechanical reflex cameras and probably will not part with them. Leica glass imparts it's own characteristic on film, but that of course is subjective to the eye of the photographer. I happen to like it, so Leica is in my photographic future and hopefully so will Leica.

I still use Nikons alongside Leicas. While multiple systems are more expensive to maintain it is getting cheaper these days. You can get some very useful glass for Nikons and there are numerous excellent bodies. At the same time, there is some outstanding Leica glass e.g. 100mm and 180mm APOs. As to Leica bodies I love the SL2; better screen than the corresponding Nikons (F2,F3). We are all awaiting to see what, if anything, Leica has to offer R users at Photokina. All the best, Chris B ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
