The regular M6 will drop precipitously on the new, and hopefully the used, market, because anyone purchasing an M6 from this point forward will want the TTL metering - and, assuming all else is equal - for an added $200 they'd be crazy not to. HOPEFULLY, this will make the M6 more affordable, especially on the used market. But with Leica equip, who knows? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of RBedw51767@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 1998 3:59 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] New M6 Would any Luggers like to speculate what this new M6/TTL will do to the value of the soon to be discontinued .85 and regular M6's? BOB << o reconfirm what has been discussed regarding a new M6, I read today a Leica representative's written memo to a Leica dealer that specifically stated that the new M6 with TTL will be introduced @ the upcoming Photokina. It will retail for $200.00 more that the standard M6 and it was specifically stated that the current M6 would be discontinued. Absolutely no reference was made in regard to shutter speeds or sinc. speed. It was stated that the shutter speed dial will be slightly larger in diameter that the current dial.
