I love the Minolta 9 that I've had a little over a year, but I still find that I have to refer to the owner's manual to recall how to do certain things. On the other hand, TTL in the M6 is strictly an internal thing. If you don't have a flash attached to the hotshoe, you won't even know that you have TTL! Like the lightmeter, if you don't like it, just take the batteries out. Instant M4-P! Dan C.

For this reason the over-sized, over-featured cameras from the major manufacturers are less productive (for me) than a very basic camera like the M6 or SL. > >Doug Herr >Birdman of Sacramento >http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt >-------------------------------------------------- >Stay in touch with Northwestern and the world.
