  1. I would venture that you need two different lenses for portraits and scenics. One on the extreme of each ends. If you want cheap, get a Koni Omega Rapid, get their wide angle hexanon 58mm/f 5.6, and the portrait 180mm/f 4.5. If it is possible, also carry their normal lenses, the 90mm/f 3.5 All of them are excellent lenses, on par and sometimes surpass the hassie lenses of that era. The format is 6 X 7
  2. Hm...seeing that 6mp aps size sensor should be relatively affordable to manufacture right now. It is a big possibility. Not sure if you can buy a full frame sensor Leica M at $4000 - 5000.

     

    Another possibility is, just the back. Replacing the Leica M back with a digital sensor. Which would allow everything from Leica M3 to M7/MP to be usable. Interesting.

  3. Why don't you try buy a Nikon 28mm f.1.4 lens first. and Nikon 85mm f.1.4 The quality from those lenses is on par with Leica. Buying a Leica, you need to consider about the lenses. If you can afford a M6/7/P with a 35/50/75 Lux(f1.4) or Cron (f2) ASPH(if possible), or Noctilux then go for it. You'll see the difference in the image(in my opinion) and also a difference in the philosophy of shooting. It is an acquired taste.
