Other than that, leave it alone. Amen! The M6 is a photographers camera and works beautifully for its intended purpose. "Concentration on the basics" or something like that. The camera is lightweight tough and dependable. How many wars has it been through? IMHO, any additional electronics would be superfluous and any "ergonomic improvements" a waste. Lets have a few dependable anachronisms left in this world that we don't have to "update" every two years like these blasted computers! Regards, Mike Gardner
