And yet the M3 is universally loved as the most wonderfull camera ever built, and the M6HM was Solm's answer to demands for the M3's return. I personally think the M6HM IS a great camera, and I use it a lot with my 35mm lens. I guess you can't please everyone. :) I do think that someone shopping for their first rangefinder camera should "Be careful", especially if they are a long time SLR user. The M Leicas (any model, not just the HM) are not for everyone. Dan C.
