Too many cameras - which two to keep?

Its more complicated between the ME super and the MX so I will keep both for now.

I don't have the ME Super but I do have a P30T, which in at least one important respect (having both aperture priority and manual) is very similar - in fact, the ME Super is more fully featured! That is indeed a hard call. I'm with you on keeping both for the time being; it's not like they need to be fed and watered regularly.

Maybe this will help:
I have an LX, two MX, an MZ-3, an MZ-S, a KX, a 645Nii and a 67.
Which ones should I sell?
Answer: none.

You're still missing a few...

Yes, but I'm also missing steady employment so I'm gonna have to call it good.

There is a lot of that going around.

There is no statistically proveable relationship between steady employment and camera / lens acquisition.

If my past year is any indicator, the inverse could be true.

Assuming all are in working order, I'd keep the MX and the MZ5-N. Anything the ME and ME Super can do the MZ-5N can do too; the MX gives a different shooting experience. These are two of my favourite SLRs.

Sadly, my experience as well

I am doing better though. I passed up purchase of an LX in reasonable shape with motor drive (not winder) and M 50/1.4 for $225.

It's interesting.... I'm not sure whether to say "congratulations" or "gosh, I'm sorry".

The same guy had a Nikon rangefinder (can't remember which model) two lens kit (50mm + 28mm) for ~~the same~~ a decent price. That one was harder to pass up.
