Is it not a common thing to hear users say that their 3's, 4's, etc. were coming out of adjustment frequently relative to the modern 6's? Also, the original post (Marvin's) claimed that it was the Solms cameras v. the Wetzlar cameras that were inferior - not the M6 v. the 2,3,4, etc. I simply refuted this as unlikely. The Solms 6 is the same as the Wetzlar 6, except of course the meter and the strap protectors. Regards, Ben W.
