Huh? What exactly is your problem...? Are you actually faulting Leica
for employing modern production techiniques? Would you prefer that they were
out of business? I dare you to find any other 35mm manufacturer that builds
cameras and lenses as well as Leica. This whole subject is a little weird...
What would you rather drive every day, a 1960's vintage Rolls Royce, or a
new Mercedes? If you actually prefer the Rolls, you're nuts, the new car is
better in every way (nostalgia aside). If you'd like to be rid of your
"impure" M6, I'll gladly take it off your hands...
