Carry it everywhere, crank that film through, shoot shoot shoot. Don't baby it. The more it's used, the better it will perform. And the better it will look and feel. A happy M6 is a well used M6. If you want to have a "perfect" M6 for all time. Buy another and lock it in a safe. I will be unhappy, problematical, finicky, moody, but no marks or other signs of use.
