I was a bit apprehensive to do so because of all of those who say you can't really see a difference. I bought it for the finder I kept telling myself. Well....... I can easily see a difference at the 11x 14 size. I took some photos of one of my daughter's dolls so I would have a non-moving target. I shot it in the same kind of available lighting that I do a lot of my work. I can clearly see more detail in the dolls dress and in her hair. Incidently, the focus of the M-6 and lens is right on. What really surprises me is the difference between the two in the out-of focus areas in terms of definition and contrast. Now I'm wondering what else can I sell to buy some more Leica lenses and a couple more bodies? Hey, is there a vaccine against Leica fever??????
