The >assumed pupil-point is too far forward. My wife would appreciate this one. I found contact lenses to be the solution for me. This way I cna also shoot my screw mounts Leicas with ease. My favorite improvement would be to equip the M6 with the same baseplate used on the M4 series so that I can use my Leica cassettes in it. I had to buy a used M4-P baseplate for mine. The best thing about this one is that it would not require any redesign; just put the older baseplate on it. I would also like to see some kind of TTL flash metering incorporated. Not vital, but there are some situations that it would be nice for. kw -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Wilcox Carolyn's Personal Touch Portraits umcc.umcc.umich.edu Replied: Forwarded 22 Feb 96 22:53
