Why doesn't Leitz sell their very special M6s to them, in the version M6-B
(broken) ?
Those persons might even believe, that they might have some kind of exotic,
fatal attraction to virgin camera bodies, if some parts fall immediately into
their laps. And Leitz could always claim that M6-B stands for "M6-bokeh".

Additinally, they could introduce a M6-R (replaced), with a special
replacement serial number, for all those earnest, but unhappy broken M6
users,  with an additonal option for later collectors.

Most profit is made by the lenses, they said to you, Ed ? 
LOL - depends on how you built the camera body. 
$ 2.000 for a M6 Chicken McNugget - no so bad.

Sorry, I didn't intend to warm up the soup again - but I'm rather
disappointed by the recent M6 complaints - although mine is a M6-H (happy). 

I always believed, that _any_ Leica is built for eternity. At least. Even for
longer.
