I just bought an M6 at Split Image Photo, a local camera store here in New York. The prices I was quoted was very close to what B&H was selling it for. I was quoted the following after rebate: Leica M6 $2,025.00 35mm f/2 $1,300.00 35mm f/2 Asph $1,325.00 35mm f/1.4 Asph $2,600.00 I originally ordered the M6 with the 35mm f/2 lens. The store called Leica USA and was told they were out of stock and didn't expect to get any more of them. So I changed my order to the 35mm f/2 Asph. Another call to the Leica USA indicated that they are on back order and may be available in 2 to 4 weeks in black and longer in chrome. So I upgraded my order to the 35mm f/1.4 Asph and it will be shipped this week. Leica USA has both Chorme and Black M6s. I didn't ask about Titanium M6s. So, unless you can find a dealer with stock, I don't see the advantage of ordering from USA. Art Art Searle, W2NRA, Lake Grove, NY, USA 20 miles east of Nikon USA, 62 miles east of Leica USA
