There is no reason in the world to expect an M2/3/4 to crap out on you during a shoot just because of its age, as long as it is properly maintained. Now, if one felt they had to have TTL light metering to, as you say, deliver the bacon, that is a personal choice, and another story altogether. BK - -----Original Message----- From: B. D. Colen [mailto:bdcolen@earthlink.net] Subject: RE: [Leica] RE: M6TTL vs "Classic" question M3s and M2s are all OLD cameras. They may indeed represent the pinnacle of Leica mechanics and design. They may indeed feel wonderful. They certainly have less flare-prone viewfinders, and more metal parts. BUT...They are old. And while they are great for shooting the grandkids, or taking on that trip to Venice, if you need to depend upon your cameras to deliver the proverbial bacon, then it makes little sense not to use a 1-10-year-old camera, rather than a 40 to almost 50 year old camera. Things get old, they wear out and die. Just like people. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
