I got to where I rarely if ever took any extra meter readings and just shot away. But when the M6 became available I switched to them... actually if I'd have known what kind of dollar value the M5's would draw many years later I should've kept them just for re-sale if nothing else. ;-) Then along came the M7 almost 15 years later without any failure from the M6 and I switched again! :-) Simply because of the super accuracy of the M7 AE lock exposure system that allowed me to totally concentrate on the moment and give next to nothing of thought to the exposure.. As I've said before, the 3 M7's made shooting the book "Women in Medicine" a piece of cake because I basically shot everything on AE with nothing more than a glance at shutter speed as it flashed in the view finder and shot! A true and simple P&S! Although expensive. ;-) I'm sure at least one of them will go with me to other side when the time comes along with 100 rolls of film! ;-) ted
