I'm happy to have an M6J - and maybe I'm fooled and deep in mistakes but I always thought I would be able to meter with the camera (at least when there are batteries inside, fresh and at the right place ...). No, sorry for joking: The M6J is an M6 with the viewfinder system of the M3, it has an improved metering system (wider range) and it's by far smoother than a "usual" M6. Again an order of magnitude more silent than the M6 ..., more heavy, built even more solid. I call it an improvement (and I would have more M6J bodies if I could afford and get them). It's really a pity that a beautiful and extremely handy camera like the M6J is kept behind glass at collector's desks ...
