I also broke the rewind cranks on both of my M6's by hitting the corner of the camera (really hard to avoid when you're wearing one!) I've also broken the film transport lever on one of my M6's. The M3 just feels much sturdier. I wish they would do something about the M6 rewind cranks and also the flimsy plastic feet on the 21mm finder. On the other hand - you can't beat the lenses!!!
