Hi Art,
But if you take an M6, put on a 15mm, 21 or 24,  set focus for small
aperture allowing a large depth of field, you have a great "toy camera"
with a built in meter!

And anyone who has a 15 Voigtlander/Cosina with adapter and attached to
the M6 can attest to it's just one great fun happy snapping toy camera. :-)

Blaze away without any thought other than capturing what excites your vision.
