For those of you that have been asking for that stripped down model.

I just saw that B & H has a lease option for businesses.
"Only US-based businesses at least two years old are eligible for lease financing. Minimum lease term is two years. Purchase amount must exceed $5,000. Other requirements apply. Click here for further information and to access our on-line lease application.
Sample payment is for a 36-month full-payout lease for eligible customers, subject to credit approval and final acceptance by independent leasing company. Other leasing terms available"

OTOH, it's one of those liberating tools for "the rest of us" to use when rationalizing merely VERY expensive (to anyone less obsessed) cameras, ie a potentially disapproving spouse. "What THIS? This isn't expensive for camera gear. This is actually pretty cheap. Expensive would be the Leica..... - this is a BARGAIN"! My wife has never said a word about my spending on stuff like this, and I've actually gotten pretty self-regulating lately, but I always want to be READY, because you never know what's gonna come down the pike in the future...It does sort of put that whole "the Pen F is an overpriced camera for hipsters" thing in perspective.
Of all the cameras I've owned/own I'd say the Leica M240 is the one I've been the least bothered about from a "precious" point of view. It's built like a tank and I have no problem with schlepping it along and not worrying about it! I reckon if someone tried to take it, one well aimed swing would knock them out cold
