This only confirms what I=B4ve already been told = off-line. And it really pleases me since the Titanium M6 I=B4m about = to buy thereby is on par with my old M3s! In other words the Titanium M6 is as close to the real sturdy and = classic Leica one can get today. Brass is what it takes! Is there = anyone who doesn=B4t agree? Anyway, wouldn=B4t it be strange if almost US$500 extra only got you = a different, however pretty, surface? So far -97 looks good here in Sweden Claes
