And don't forget that as good a camera as the M6J may be, the regular M6 is still one of the best around. Lately I have been using a Nikon F2 for a llot of studio shooting, and I like it a lot. But every now and then I take out my M6 and the difference between the two is incredible. The Leica's shutter is so quiet in comparison, that I have to double check to make sure it is working. And the film advance is so much finer. So maybe the M6J is even better. I'm more than happy with my plain-Jane M6. Dan C.
