As mentioned before ,the camera has been around since 1984 and by today's standards that's a very long time, it deserves the classification Classic by now I reckon. Do you agree or disagree? =========== Disagree, But only because I think Leica could have done the job better for us in the first place. If the M3 became the M2 because of a difference in design (largely related to the viewing window, but other factors as well) then why Leica couldn't have named the M6.85 the M7 I don't know, even M6a would have been preferable. It would be easier to find a better user name for the new camera rather than re-name the old one, perhaps? Jem
