Another pretender >>to diss? C'mon now. Mike, What I can never understand is the constant whining for all this damn auto crap on an M6. If they don't like the camera for crying out loud sell it and go buy a bloody Canon, Konica, Nikon or whatever little auto toy they think is better. The M6 is a diamond camera and they want a bunch of nickle and dime add ons to make it supposedly more efficient at the expense of weight, noise and for what? In reality, nothing! Those who want a motor are crazy, get a Tom Abramsson Rapidwinder and it'll kick ass of any battery driven motor you wish to add. And a hell of alot cheaper with silent operation at about 3 frames a second after a bit of practice. There's more whining in this group about the M6 needing a whole bunch of things to make it better and not one of the things they whine about are going to make anyone of them better photographers. If they're not good with the M6 or any other M camera as it is, all the two bit add ons aren't going to make them any better. They'll just have a bunch more features to whine about! Boy at times I just can't figure this crew out at all. And don't anyone come back and say I'm not for advancement as I sure as hell am. But not at the expense of blowing away an excellent camera that "Ain't broke and needs no fixin'!" ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
