So the 1/1000 f-stop accuracy makes sense with the Hexar but not necessarily on the M Leicas, because you canb only adjust 1/2 f-stops anyway. And in consequence a combined inaccuracy of 1/4 f-stop is no disadvantage in the design of the M Leicas. > However, using both the Konica and the Leica as > complementary bodies, rather than the Konica as a replacement for the > Leica, may make the most sense. No Question, in the end it all boils down to personal preferences. But to say that the Hexar is superior to the M6, as Dante tried to tell us, is either ignorant or some kind of heavy trolling. Axel
