WHen I first used the M6 I found the meter to be innacurate after using F3s for 15 years. Well hte M5 is at Sherry's being ressurected as it was a total basketcase when I bought it and I haven't gotten to use it yet ( my monitary problems not SherryBTW) But the deal I got on the 5 was too good not to pass up and I could test out an M5 and compare it to the M6 something I couldn't afford to do had this camera been working. This is something I find pretty interesting. New Gear is Sooo expensive that I have taken to renting stuff before I buy it. That wa I get to use it a bit and see what I like and don't like. I'd like to try a 75 and a 90 APO without buying one.... But a far as I know No-one rents Leica gear. Is this true? Jeremy - --- "B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net> wrote: > B.
