My M6O,85 is probably getting close to Exc- condition and that is after Leica replaced the shutterspeed dial and the rewind knob. The technician at Solms was somewhat worried and asked me how long I had owned the camera. When I said it was 1 year old (this was last year in March, and the 0,85 had only been out for 12 month), he looked worried and suggested that I, maybe, was a wee bit rough on my equipment. I had fixed the rewind crank myself, bent it back into a semblance of original shape with a screwdriver. The shutterspeed dial was a bit loose, but not disturbingly so, but he felt that it was a good idea to replace it now! My 0,85 TTL is faring better, primarily because I dont use it as much, the rewind crank is only mildly warped and the black chrome is holding up well, at least under the tape! Cant wait to put some mileage on my Millenium M6, brass top-plate wears better than zinc in my mind. Tom A
