I fail to see one single advantage the FM has over the R6.2, except price and 1/250 flash syn. Other than that, it's a ho-hum camera. This attitude that manual is somehow better than automatic in an SLR is highly overrated, in my opinion. In the M6 it's great. I don't want to see it get any bigger. But SLRs are big anyway, so automation only improves them. =================== Eric Welch Grants Pass (OR) Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB chair You're only young once; you can be immature forever.
