And the M2 can be easily upgraded to 6 frame lines, which one of my M2's is. And a M4 rapid load can also be installed which I am not sure is really important because once you get used to loading the M2 it is a breeze. As far as no in-camera meter, some need them, others don't, I have a tiny hand meter. As far as being older I think that is just in peoples minds, a 40 year old Leica is not the same thing as a 40 year old Buick. Both of my M2's are users (cosmetically challenged) but mechanically perfect (Sherry's verdict). A lot of M6 cameras should be so reliable and trouble free. Steve Annapolis
