I am brand new to this forum, but I have taken a strong interest in leica cameras and lenses as of late. I have been using a Nikon FM2 over the last 3 years shooting pretty much film only, i still do not own a digital camera and i dont really want to own one.

I am thinking of buying a second hand Leica M6 and starting a collection of lenses. I will only wanting to really collect 50mm and downwards as i am more of a close up and wide angle photographer rather than needing the use of telephoto lenses.
I do however want to do commercial work and it seems you cant get buy without a digital so i think the M8 would work nicely coupled with the lenses i have collected for the M6.
Only problem is money, but i will be saving.

Any advice would be great and appreciated on where to start.
