Re: [Leica] M6 or M4-P?

[Steve Hickel <smhickel@x2.alliance.net>]

Hola Fernando,

Tu ingles es bien. If an M4-P is only 800 then tell me where to buy it. If
it is 2800 then buy an M6. The M6 does have an in-camera meter and so does
an M5, not an M4-P. The meter makes for faster photos and befits the reason
for an M6, sharp, fast photos of fast, sharp objects or beings. Lenses I am
still learning and just bought an F2.8 50mm Elmar.
