LuDo" <fld@mozcom.com> Subject: 2nd M body >"Can anyone here care to comment on what would be a good 2nd body for the M6 other than an M6 ? I'm thinking of an M2, M4. However the M4 seems steep and its price is nearing that of a mint M6." Your best choice is a clean, later model (#158xxx and higher) M4-P. Prices range from $600 (user) to $1,200 (collector). They are more sturdy than a M4-2, easy to repair and the viewfinder matches the M6. My M4-P , a second body to the M6, accompanies me with a 35 or 50 Summicron and clip-on MR meter. Second bodies are great for experimenting with different films at your convenience. Enjoy! Carl Muhlstein P.S. On the lookout for a clean used Noctilux. Private email.
