I dont still possess a Leica M6 and i have some questions about this mythical camera : Why do you say fast lens for a manuel lens ? How can you work quickly than an autofocus SLR at an high aperture ? How can you evaluate the amout of light faster than an Electronic SLR ? I dream to buy a M6 but i fear to be disappointed by the archaism of this Camera. What about the lack of Flash TTL, the painful loading of the film, poor accuracy of the shutter, low synchro flash speed, no mark in viewfinder for the circle of the exposure meter (how can i measure the light with diff lens)... What is the date for a perfect M7 model ? Help me to clear my reticences I'll thank all help ------------------------------------- | Olivier Guillemain | | | | Responsable reseau | | e-mail: oguillemain@agora.fdn.fr | | | | Carpe diem | -------------------------------------
