I found mine on Photo.net BTW. The weather has been outstanding here in Boston! Too sunny for f1.4!!! I too, worry about "shuuter burn", this being my first summer with the M6 as well.... I will monitor this thread closely :) Bob Keene >Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 07:40:21 PDT >From: "Paul Klingaman" <pklingaman@hotmail.com> >Subject: [Leica] Shutter Burn.
