And I still totally disagree with the "BS" and the "slick means". By the way, it's not Leica who originated the black paint M6, it's the LHSA. Long before the Millennium M6. I've read Roy Moss' article and I know that not everybody agree with him. Anyway, I much prefer to use a M with a internal meter. IMHO, the LHSA Black Paint is the nicest M6 ever made (save the M6J, but at a price). The nicest M camera since the M4 . (Some will say, since the M5) Kind regards, Lucien TM wrote: > Hi, Lucien.
