Yes, it has a better viewfinder - and finally having acknowledged the DEFECT in the M6 viewfinder system Leica should have at least been offering to refit the M6s of registered original owners at cost ;-) - but aside from that, there is absolutely nothing about it that will in any way improve the photography of a "Leica photographer." And given that cameras are tools with which to achieve one's photographic vision, why pay extra for the MP if it can build better images? -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Luis Ripoll Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 4:16 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Leica M3 purchase Hi Bob, I'm agree if somebody is looking for a M6 or M6TTL, but IMO once you have tried a MP the VF is really much more better than the M6 Saludos desde Barcelona Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org]En nombre de B.

Colen Enviado el: miercoles, 06 de abril de 2005 0:17 Para: 'Leica Users Group' Asunto: RE: [Leica] Leica M3 purchase What ever you say, Gene, but here are the prices of the last M6s and M6TTL to sell on Ebay - $1380 for a .85 TTL $1035 for M6 .72 $1250 M6 in box $1499 WITH WINDER M $1175 for Chrome M6 .72 $1211 for a TTL $985 for a chrome M6 with one ding $1154 for .85 TTL And on March 31 an auction ended with only $1125 being bid for a mint .85 TTL that failed to meet the reserve. The prices have dropped through the floor. Now's the time, before Leica goes belly up, to buy an M6. :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of grduprey@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 4:55 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica M3 purchase Not from what I have seen, he is just about right. -----Original Message----- From: B.
