Improvements in the M? I can only think of a very few - eliminate the
viewfinder flare problem; increase the hardiness of the "black chrome"
finish.
Additions to the M6 that would improve its ability to do what it does and
does better than virtually any other camera? One: add a spot metering
option.
What these three changes would do is truly "improve," rather than alter, a
the ideal photographic instrument with which to unobtrusively record life
with lens in the 21 - 75, or perhaps 90mm, range. Period.

Ken,
as far as I remember the with the M6, a late model, I owed, one was not
able to use leica cassettes anymore. Also the little button on the right
hand side (looking from the front),
was missing. This button held the flash bracket. I used it to enable me to
screw my tripod in to the centre of the Leica.
Regards, Horst Schmidt
