Much respect to you Woody.I've gone the opposite direction, selling everything except an MM, and an M that I keep as a backup (and for use with odd lenses), and a bunch of Leica and antique glass. At one time or another I've owned Alpa + Phase One, D3, Sony A mount, Leica S and most of the third party (e.g. Sony) bodies that can mount Leica glass, as well as a bunch of "pocketables". They are all gone now. After two full years of using the MM daily I'm still finding new reasons to love it. I've lost interest in changing gear which gets in the way of what I'm trying to do with my images.
Eyesight is an issue but solvable. I shoot with glasses on to correct my mild astigmatism.
My dearest wish is to lean down to a M Monochrome and a second camera … which in my case would be a Leica S kit to cover my interests in working with portrait lighting both indoors and outdoors.
Unfortunately, as long as I keep accepting paid event assignments I have to maintain some sort of AF 35mm system.
However, I long for the day when I can follow in your footsteps:thumbup:
