Hi everyone,

I have been an amateur photographer for some 30 years. Over the years I have parted with my Ricoh Singlex TLS, Nikon FTN, and Nikon F3. All that remains are my M6 (basically mint - 1 roll shot), Summilux-M 50mm pre-ASPH f/1.4 (equally mint), and my beloved D-Lux 2 (well-used). I feel that my photographic passion has been re-energized with the advent of digital photography. I have been offered half of what I paid for my M6 and lens some 13 years ago. Although I do not need to sell the M6, is it worth keeping? Should I keep the lens and buy the M8 (I love the 50mm perspective)? Should I sell both for the M8 and a new lens? Should I sell both and stick with the D-Lux 2? Thank you!
