Ric,

Anyone you ask here will probably tell you the same thing, leica lenses if
used properly can give you some of the best pictures.. Im a little biased
though ;)

Just send me the leica, and Ill make sure it gets a happy home... (mine ;) )

Subject: [Leica] Not enough time to appreciate M-6


Hello To All:
     I would appreciate any input and suggestions you can offer on the
following:
I have a basically "new" Chrome M-6 outfit with a f2 Summicron ASPH and a
2.8 / 90. I have not been able to shoot many rolls with it , but even with
the limited time I have had with the M-6, I have come to understand why
there
is such a following for this camera. Does it take the absolute "best"
pictures as compared to other cameras? Who knows, since so many other
factors
(such as shooters ability and Lab choice) come into play there. Is it the
"best" camera? With everything taken into consideration.....Quality,
reliability, longevity, etc.....I truely believe it is.
    I do not have the time I need or want to enjoy this camera, and I do not
want it to sit unused. Sadly, I have deceided to sell it. Can anyone offer
advice as to where to get started with this? What is the best route to
selling a Leica? Is online auction a real option?
     I appreciate your advice.
