[Leica] M6 prices are $$$

[ernest nitka]

Yes quite agree - you need your images right away.  The M6 prices are out of this world.  It is because it has a cache that drive up the price.  Personally I much prefer my M7 as it shoots in aperture priority whereas the M6 is essentially a shutter priority camera.  The other camera that has similar cache is the Contax G2 - Lenses are fantastic but the body is a little noisy for me.

In fact my preferred walk about kit is my iPhone ( for movies and must get shots) and a film camera.  I did 10 days in Japan like this and was very happy with the results.  I am currently trying to get ahold of my fathers IIIf which was given to my brother in law who no longer does photography.  Just discovered ’stand ‘ development and have been happy with the results.
