Hi the dilemna is in the question, I shoot mainly street/general/family portraits/ family functions and a bit of landscape too. I love the look of the 240 in chrome such a gorgeous camera, and would buy the 50mm f2 and maybe the 90/2 and 35/2 later, but just wondering if its a bit extravagant to own both (as well as a A7RII) and maybe I should trade in the Q for the M plus lens(es) ....... any thoughts/views appreciated ....

I would keep the Q, given its lens quality and its light weight. In the M range the 262 (with screen!) again is lighter than the 240, does away with unnecessary frills (slow EVF etc) and the experience with rangefinder nicely complements going out and about with the Q (fast, accurate focus). Having found a 50 Summicron APO at a cost saving over list price, I have 'rediscovered' the 50mm fov – which is what I'd always had with much earlier cameras.

If I only had the M240 and I needed a 28m lens, I'd choose to buy the Q rather than buy the actual Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 lens. 

 

This way, I have a fast 28mm Leica lens (the Q) that I can use without needing to attach it to the M240 body.  The Q is cheaper than the Summilux-M anyway, so that's a bonus.
