However, the following post that appeared today certainly supports the problems that the "cheerleaders" wish no one would discuss: "I bought a new M6 body from Don Chatterton a few weeks ago. As I was about to go on a trip to London I just left it alone until I got back. I did not want to use a new camera on my vacation and my existing M6 was a proven entity. Once back I opened this new M6 and went to attach a lens, it would not go on, tried 5 lenses and none would lock on. Called Don and he was gracious enough to exchange it. It still cost 65.00 to ship it back to him (Mail Boxes Etc.). This is rather a glaring defect not something buried deep within the camera. Stuff happens and all that but for an 1800.00 camera body to be unusable right out of the box is very disappointing Maybe that guy that screwed up the pressure plates got promoted to final inspection." I rest my case!
