This makes it much easier to select shutter speeds, I think it'll pay off especially with very cold or wet hands. Or even wearing gloves in winter. He's also machined me a couple of battery covers with a raised screwdriver-like tongue. It always drives me mad trying to get the Leica originals off, although it's not something i need to do very often. These are much easier to use - they give a good purchase on the cover. Again, good for cold or wet hands. I haven't yet had a chance to use the cameras with these modifications yet, and only the shutter dial mod has any effect on the working ergonomics of the machine, but it certainly feels like a major improvement. I look forward to being able to wear gloves this winter! I've always felt the M6 isn't the most ergonomic camera around. Rob. >> Looks like your M6 is ready for a trip on planet Mars !
