The framelines, brightness, ease of focusing, and stability beat the M6. I agree with Mikiro that it is more stable handheld at lower shutter speeds than the M6. Some repair people consider it much better made than the M6. But because of the 28mm frame and the rapid light metering., I would not be without my M6 either. regards, Andrew Jordan > > Bonsoir Mikiro et les autres, > > Congratulations on your purchase of an M5.
