This really swinging it, Ive got a few on my ebay watch list and have bid on a few but they keep going for mental money because of hipster tax.
@amey How much you looking at?

I moved from M6 to T2 and it was honestly the best thing I've ever done camera-wise.
The build quality of the M6 is amazing and when everything in the equation is bang-on it's really hard to beat. It's also pretty versatile if you have a few lenses...
BUT
Let's be honest, the time and effort required to wrangle that manual focus is pretty impractical and you pay a price for that. Also, no-one has a range of lenses because they cost a fortune.
By contrast, Contax T2 (especially at 2.8 auto-focus) has changed my life. I'm definitely someone who's less interested in the exactitudes of photography and more interested in 'the moment' and for that it's amazing. Caught so much good street stuff with that set-up and there's there's manual/zone focus option and other apertures if you want to experiment with settings. Granted it's not as versatile as a selection of M-mounts but the camera also costs less than a single Leica lens.
It's also a really beautiful object in it's own right and the flash is built in and brilliant. Best camera I ever had.
