My M6's have been cranking away since 1985, have always given perfect exposures, other than when I screwed up and didn't believe it. They've never had a service hand put to them since being born and I've just looked at 60 rolls of film shot in the past couple weeks and they still have excellent exposure readings frame after frame. Flex after flex. You should save your brain worries and concerns about things like flexing and just go take pictures until the camera completely crashes in..... oh say, about 40 - 50 years or so. Then you can worry questioningly as to why it didn't last 60 - 80 years! ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
