The M6TTL seems to me a very small evolutionary step. I'm not dissapointed, I think for someone buying a new M6 its as good a value as the older M6. Erwin Puts first pointed out the fact that the viewfinder window is also taller on the M6TTL. For 'looks' or for something coming in the future? I too think Leica is alive and well and I think this M6TTL will sell as well as the old M6. Well, off to work! Dennis
