Subject: [Leica] New or used M6?

Tommy,

	You've gotten a lot of good advice. I'll add the following points. If you like the frameline selection of 
an M6, consider the M4-P. It is essentially an M6 without the meter. In the U.S., the M4-P costs about $500 
less than an M6 in comparable condition. You can buy a **REALLY** nice hand held meter--not to mention a 
lens--for that! The M3 is nice, but you'll need either an auxiliary finder or a lens with "eyes" to use a 35mm on 
it. I love my M3, but then I would be ecstatic doing well over 50% of my photography with 90mm and 135mm 
lenses. I'm odd in other ways, too.

	Good luck. As others have said, you can't go wrong whatever decision you make.
