I have always felt that the SS dial on the M6 classic goes the wrong way for me.
The M6 is the first and only Leica M I have used, so I have no learned habit from
earlier experience. I will eventually upgrade to the M6 TTL just for the SS dial
(orientation and size), more than for the TTL. Perhaps the LHSA black paint.
