As far as the craftsmanship the following from the "Leica M Guide" the author states: "Bucking this trend is the worthwhile but very expensive M6J. It's a M6 made to the higher standards of the M3, with a beautiful chrome finish and engraved top. Besides its $9,000.00 price tag, perhaps its most noteworthy feature is its finder. " It is not just Mrs. Krauter who has noticed the difference between current manufacture and the earlier workmanship that went into the M-3's and M-4's. Thanks for the opportunity to respond.
