I agree with Frank's thoughts. I do have an M3 and an M6 but, when the rubber hits the road, I take the M6. It is a more reliable camera, though the M3 is a tough animal. But the M3 was designed to be CLA'd annually, while the M6 was designed to last for years between services. I like my M3. But I love my M6 ... one bare service in 14 years, and thousands of rolls through the gem. Leica's don't get older, it is true, they just get better -- but the M6 is the finest Leica RF yet made.
