Retro is overrated: Get your M6 back!

If you can afford to have both, use the M3 as a backup, to be used when
the M6 is in the shop. Better yet, get a second M6.

One thing I may never understand about the M6TTL, is why Leica didn't
just reverse the direction of the viewfinder arrows, instead of making
the shutter speed dial rotate in the opposite direction, and does this
mean that my second M6 will have to also be a "classic", or that both
will have to be newer TTL models in order to avoid confusion?!
