I have never had a reason/excuse to pop the cover off my m6 so someone please save me the trouble. What exactly have they done to cheapen the m desiign. I've heard talk of plastic parts and less setting possibilities, but what was changed to plastic. I know that the m4-p lost the vertical adjtment and the m4-2s lost the metal flash socket base but they still didn't have these problems. Please don't tell me they put delrin gears in th ss mechanism! That would be assholian. What's the deal Javier Nathan Wajsman wrote: > Milos, > > To me it is a no-brainer.
