I think she is usually covered up with work( five month turnaround on LTM!- but worth the wait!), and since she knows a damn sight more than I do about Leicas, I am somewhat inclined to believe her! Her work on my M3 was exemplary, and though I don't use it professionally, (I am at the 'use level' where my M3 will probably last another 40 years!) I am impressed with the rugged quality of the camera. I am impressed, as well, with the quality of the M6. Be it better or worse ( I can't tell!) it sure as Hell beats most of what is out there in terms of doing what it is supposed to do and doing it well! I hope to get one someday!
