Richard, have you ever think of M9 instead of M240? M9 2nd hand price seems very reasonable now-days. Do you need LV and EVF or high ISO for M?
LV, not really, EVF not really. High ISO, yes, I shoot often in low and very low light. I figured the price difference between the two isn\'t actually so big, so it would be worth getting the newer sensor (along with a couple of other useful things like the shutter). But then price differences seem to grow, makes such a decision less straight forward

I\'d say you\'re about right.. That\'s $7,200 SGD, or $5,800 USD. Which is more then fair if the set is near mint with around a year of warranty left. You could get it for a bit cheaper if you waited for the right deal. But it\'s a matter of waiting and not having the camera, or buying now and getting £200 worth of shots on it. If nothing really major is happening right now in your life, it maybe worth it to wait a bit. Then again, I\'m never one to wait.
Keep in mind they are more over here, like $8000 USD new, although that\'s due to increase a little. Thanks for so,e guidance anyway... I know what you mean, I\'d basically pay £100 or so more than I wanted to before. As to weather anything major is happening in my life right now, well, difficult to say! What major is I\'m not sure. My wedding season is tapering off, so I\'ll be having more personal time soon (eg next week), but no trips until early Oct.
Update: rattled to £3450 now...
Q: is it always best to collect in person or are the rangefinders less sensitive composted to say the m9?
