I am using more and more of my M6 now and the older M3 has taken sort of
2nd place. The M6 meter is really accurate and I get more useable shots.
My M4 is hardly touched and it is throwing temper tantrums, looking weak
and anemic, prone to asthmatic breathlesness and is likely to disuse
atrophy eventually. Its time to take it out for some sunshine.
