The M4 and M2 were purchased used, aobut 10 and 2 years ago respectivly. The M2 gets more use than the other two combined. I prefer the uncluttered viewfinder of the M2 to the convienience of the M6's metering. While I'm not complaining about my M6, it is interesting to note that it is the only one to require repair from normal use. The M4 only required servicing when I droped it on a concrete floor. It's also nice to note that my M4, for which I paid $950 with a 50mm Summicron, is now twice that much without the lens. That said about the M cameras, I must admit that my IIIf and IIIa get more day to day use than all the Ms combined.
