I dont like working with a ergonomic logitech mouse on my computer as it locks my movements, I am not happy with the large power grips on some cameras - I use a EOS 5 instead of and Eos 1 not because of price or features but because I handle the 5 better. Same goes with Hasselblad compared to Rollei 6008 - the "blad" fits my hand better. With the M6 Classic - a rather non-ergonomic but "rounded" camera - I find that it fits perfectly in my hand without forcing me to hold it in any specific way while the M6 TTL does not because of its 2 mm exstra - sorry can not help it and thats why I urged the gentleman who was going to buy a M6 to feel it out first! All the best Ruben ps. as you may have read from some of my tech questions on this list I recently got a Leica IIIf - it is even smaller then my M6 and I absolutely love it :-) By the way the distance from the knobs is part of the ergonomics of the camera! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard" <richard-lists@imagecraft.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 10:38 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] 2nd M-body recommendation > Come now, you can feel the difference in 2mm?
