I have a simple question regarding the M6. I was browsing around informational pages about the M6 when I came accross one that also deals leica and other rangefinders. I won't mention any names, but the page in question listed a "20th production M6" for $3500. Along with the listing was a link to information regarding the differences between the 20th production and later M6's. I read the differences and remembered an M6 that I was interested in buying from a local shop the prior evening(the camera was so beautiful, that it's permanantly etched into my brain). I read the information and it seemed to me that the M6 that I saw for $1400 was a "20th production" model. So I wondered, why the price difference? So I called the number on the web page to speak to the person selling the camera to ask. I did so in a extremely discreet and polite way, only to get snippy responses, and finally a "next time email" and hangup. Can anyone tell me why I recieved this attitude? Is the $3500 price tag justified, or is the $1400 M6 a steal? Why was this person so rude to me? I realize that the value of the camera also depends on the condition, but the M6 I was looking at was in MINT- condition, and the finder was clear and bright. Thanks for any and all help, Paul ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
