Not paltry at all Marc. It's something I'd love to do, but there are times (like today), a long walk with the family, and it's great to shoot with AF and a zoom. Part of me says "to hell with it, buy an RX10" but I'm never happy with drab files.Keep the M240, dump the other three.
You have a passion for shooting with a rangefinder which I totally understand and sympathize with.
At this stage it seems you should only shoot that which you connect with on a visceral level.
Don't feel it? Dump it.
All the rest is just intellectual mumbo-jumbo and justifications.
All sort of proven by the fact that "The M stays, two of the others must go", and you aren't totally sure which two.
My paltry 2¢.

Good results with wide M glass.With the A7R Guy, I would even question the need for the M. What does an M give you an A7R can't, save for the red dot?
I would also make the case that my Canon 20mm f/2.8 FD lens at about 1/20th of the cost of your Leica 19mm is not a bad option either
Bob, can you be more specific? I've seen tests from the 21mm & 24mm ASPH 'Lux's that don't show any problem, and I own the 28mm 'Cron ASPH and the 35mm pre-ASPH 'Cron myself. These both work fine. I think it is widely accepted that the WAIT's also both work just fine.Good results with wide M glass.

Tough choice, Jono....Hi There Juha
It's so easy to say! I do have some R glass, and also the 28-85 Contax Yashica . .. erm.
35-70 f4
60 macro elmarit
180 apo elmarit
80-200 f4
You are probably right
I have the RX100ii and have tried the RX10 twice in my local shop. It is a compelling camera, and the zoom is pretty much idea for walkabout. AF was quick, you can grab video, etc. The 1" file is excellent for what it is, and gives u4/3 a run for its money. But it isn't APS-C, and certainly not FF. In good light if you watch the highlights it gets close. As the light gets worse, it falls off.Not paltry at all Marc.

But it is still really tempting.
