Well, if you ask me, the M6 is a very small camera compared to a Nikon
F5 with all the gizmo.

Deviating the subject, I just joined your list. Owning a R7 and a few
lenses (50mm and a 24mm, my favorite), I guess you take me for a black
sheep, whatever, it has been with me since 4 years and I like it,
enough for my skills...

More to the point, I am currently searching for information on Minox
35 GT E, a classical one as well, still sold. Do any of you could help
me sorting the idea of  reliability of the Shutter on post-98 models?
There is the minography site (www.minography.com) but I'm broadening
the quest.

Best regards from Ze Paris area.
