Now to persuade Sam that because I'd saved all that money on not buying an M7 I could spend it all on lenses...

Or you could find an old M6, which will do all the required metering, and still have money for a lens. It's a tough tradeoff. I was only allowed to buy a new lens when we had a new child, so the struggle was even harder. That's why I only have two "new" lenses (plus the old ones I inherited from my grandfather and the one I had before I met my wife)...

Have you seen the prices for M6s? They're not much less than an M7.
