I would like to relate a recent experience of mine that illustrates why
I got an M6. I was
recently on a photo outing in Toronto with my father. He had his new
Nikon F5 with a 24-120 zoom,
(this lens has a piece of glass that looks like the end of a barrel of a
bazooka), I had my M6 and Konica Hexar
(beautiful camera, much like a M6 buts thats a different topic). We were
driving through the city looking for pionts of interest. While stopped
at a red light I noticed some children playing in an alley. Having my
camera already set to the proper exposure and set for hyperfocal
distance I just reached across the passenger side and snapped a picture.
My Dad, seeing the same picture raised his bazooka, er I mean F5, and
aimed it at the children. Well one of the girls saw the camera, screamed
noooo and
ran away. Hopefully this was a lesson learned, bigger is not always
better.
