Yikes. I don't do it > much. Bill, I have been using my M6 more than formerly and have been using it for flash photography, not on camera but multiple location strobes, and REALLY like it. Seeing the flash fire is really nice. 2 reasons for my increased use of the M6 1. Got the Noctilux so I know have 3 lenses from 28 - 90 and can shoot the majority of the things I shoot with these focal lengths. 2. My R8 is STILL in the shop. Part of me is really regretting my switch to Leica. I am having the devil of a time keeping working cameras around. My Leica R stuff has been into the shop as much in the last year as my Canon was in 5 years. The canon stuff went in for user mistakes like dropping the damn thing, the Leica for things like a new shutter, 180 coming unscrewed, R8 electrical problems... these have kept the R8 in the shop for at least 1/2 of the time since the middle of September. I just hope these things with the R6 and 180 (new shutter and 180 coming unscrewed) were simply because I bought like new used and now that they have been fixed they will work for years to come. The R8 problem is inexcusable, IMHO.
