D. We agree on most of this quite closely so it is not us that should be arguing even in this positive way. I have shot skateboarders rushing toward and over me with the fill flash AF Nikons and I got it out of my system I guess. The stuff works brilliantly and I could get into it but I guess I didn't. Absolutely the M6 is not all things for all people and we like to be in the minority I guess. There are great photogs out there with F5's and I would I admit not turn one down and would not sell the gift. The M6 is a fine instrument measured by less than common rules. Mark Rabiner
