Subject: Re: [Leica] Aperture Priority M6+Leica Medium Format

Speaking of the Hexar RF, I certainly hope the new M6 will not be just a
re-badged Hexar RF like some have suggested. The Hexar's viewfinder, I
heard, is not as good.

In any case, I just canceled my order for a M6 TTL. I rather wait 2 months
and see what the new M is all about.
