Concerning your M6TTL I agree with the George's comments, I have not sold mine I was asking 1549 Euro because the viewfinder was upgraded in Solms to the MP VF, the stores was offering just 900 Euro. Normally, actual offers on e-bay are on the range $1100 - $1600: recently sold for 1100 Euro: http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200470200181&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:ES:1123# Regards Lluis http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/ http://photo.net/photos/lluisripoll Blog: http://lluisripollphotography.wordpress.com/ El 08/05/2010, a las 19:52, Herbert Kanner escribi?: > After after between 60 and 70 years of amateur photography and > darkroom work, I burned out about five years after fulfilling a > lifetime ambition and acquiring a Leica M6 TTL.
