If I could only have one M-camera, I'd get it with the 0.72 finder because the 50 and 35mm framelines are so handy and the 90 isn't too bad; with the 0.85x finder, the 35mm lines are marginal, particularly if you wear glasses. > > Question #2: This may seem silly but are all of the new M6's made in > Germany or are some made in Portugal? Final assembly happens in Germany (all M6es say "Made In Germany"), but Leica sources parts and assembles from other countries as well, and some have suggested that a good deal of the M6 manufacturing happens in Portugal. As for the Canadian Ms, I think the M4-2 and M4-P were a case of "too much obvious cost-cutting implemented all at once" compared to the M4 but they're good cameras in their own right (okay, the film speed plate is a joke) I don't think either one is a real bargain right now: I'm seeing better deals overall on M6 "classics" and M3s.
