Just yesterday, my photo |processor, who is pretty knowledgeable about Leicas and Contaxes, commented |that my M6 might not be new: his reason was that the topmost (and black) |screw which holds the lens flange does not have the famous scripted L cast |into the screw head. I think his reference might be based on his M4, but |wanted to find out from you LUGgers with M6's to verify this little detail. |All other signs on the body, when received indicate that this is a new |camera. |Thanks, John John, I purchased my M6 new a few months ago too. The black screw you referred to does not have a scripted L cast into it either. Carl J Battaglia The Woodlands, Texas
