Hi Bob,

I'm an amateur and the M-6 TTL is the first 35 mm camera I've used, 
so I can't compare it to the M-3 or an SLR.  For me, the best part is 
the accuracy of the built in meter.  I haven't been able to master 
flash photography yet; I find Leica flash cumbersome to use because 
you have to set the aperture for both the flash and the lens, and 
focus and compose while you are at it!
