Don't feel left out. I traded two M5 bodies for a new M6, and quite often I
miss the feel of the M5. My large hands seem to fit them better.

I guess I'll get used to the M6.

Also, I've never had any trouble using bw infrared in the M6. Somewhere I
have a 39 mm Leica IR filter that is so dark you can't see through it. The
effects are great. This filter could only be used with a rangefinder.
