It is a nice enough looking camera, but I prefer my M's to be black! The common fallacy is to believe that the M6 Titanium is what it purports to be, in fact it is a brass top-plate and baseplate which is titanium nitride coated. The ostrich-leather does not appeal to me, looks like it had suffered some kind of "social disease", the Leica Herpes Simplex! One of the drawbacks with this model is that the shutterspeed dial is the same colour, kind of yellowish with white lettering. virtually impossible to read in low light and totally impossible to read in bright sunlight!
