I like lightweight cameras, so for this reasen the FM2 appeals to me. I'm sure it wouldn't stand up to the sort of rough treatment an M camera is capable of, but I am not rough with my cameras. Of course, the M cameras are not exactly heavy either, which is one reasen I own one M6 with another on the way. I am making a pest of myself, dropping into the store almost everyday, "Is it here yet?". Maybe if Erwin would stop trying to corner the market in the M6HM (I think he already has 2!), there would be some for the rest of us! ;-). I also own an F2, now that is a camera! (but too heavy for me). Dan C.
