Nobody on the street is going to know that your M6 costs what it does. The average guy/gal on the street has no idea whatsoever about photography much less any idea of what a Leica is. When my wife and I travelled in Italy last Spring, my M2 and my Rollei TLR spent more time out of the camera bag than it. You bought, enjoy it, ignore the unwashed multitudes. Like I said, it's like a Ferrari. Would you leave that in the garage because you're afraid of people might think. Who gives a c*** about what people think? I don't.
