If I enjoy the Leica M3 should I just "sell everything" and get a MP?

[Certain Exposures]

I have been reading and reflecting on all your comments. Thank you for all the replies!

Now I think that I may get a Hasselblad SWC instead of a Leica MP. I am unsure if I will sell the M3 for that purpose, though. I may start with a limb or two instead.

It is true that I could prioritize a trip. However, I cannot re-sell a trip once I have (hopefully) relieved myself of the G.A.S....hmm.

@Certain Exposures , why can't I start a conversation with you?

I investigated and it turns out that my privacy settings prevent anyone I do not follow from sending me one. I cannot recall if that was by default or not. Would you still like to have a chat? I can message you.

Talking about reselling things before you even bought them is GAS 101. Good luck with that!

Yes, I am severely bloated at this point. Stay tuned for the pop!

It seems that Leica's Leica Classic Marketing Manager Laura Sommaruya has been lurking in this thread. Great turn around time with the video content, Laura. I feel my G.A.S. rising again:

Oh yeah, I briefly had one, but unfortunately, it fell victim to one of my earliest attempts at camera repair. Too bad, because today, I could probably CLA it in an afternoon.

How could we forget Contax? They made some fine cameras.

Nope, have never owned one o' those - yet.

Lucky for me, there are still jillions of brands which I have not yet explored: Jaeger-LeCoultre, Pontiac, Royer, Officine Galileo, Rectaflex, Petri, Shinano, Neoca, Ducati, Zenobia and Kowa being just a few! Who knows, maybe "The One" is still out there!
