Harold mon ami,

there are no electronics in an M6.....!!!!!!!!

There is a battery operated meter which is quite phenominal to use, as it is so
accurate and other than that the M6 is gloriously mechanical!!!!!

If you have heard any rumours to the contrary, they are BS!!

If you are considering buying an M6 your only concern should be "what lens
should it wear?"

IMHO thats it.:)
