The M6 I'm looking at is a black one in *absolutely* mint condition, and has "M6" written on the front without "Leica" next to it. Does this make it an old Solms production model? (I think it says "Leica GMBH, Germany" on it and not Wetzlar.) I hear conflicting reports as to whether there were any changes made to the M6 since it was introduced. Is the meter in the current one the same as the original, or were there changes made to improve it? Were there problems with old meter switches or not? This M6 seems fine, but I haven't checked the meter against my Gossen yet. Is there anything I should look out for before buying this camera? As a new one is only a few hundred pounds more, would I be better off going for that? Thanks for your help! Simon. ___________________________________________ Simon Ogilvie simon_ogilvie@ionica.co.uk UNIX Analyst Ionica plc, Cambridge, UK
