For me the glize is ok in the proper amounts. We all want to see stuff out there, in the popular better photo magazines. I don't mind seeing the use of impressive papers and inks, duotones, foils the whole smear. I'm no ad man. I like a mix of stuff. I like the M6. I'm sure they could be sold to the yuppies who are taking over the world. Lot's of money out there. People want to show off their better stuff. I don't mind people buying the camera for the wrong reasons. They can rise to the instrument.... Mark Rabiner
