Subject: [Leica] Not enough time to appreciate M-6
From: Ric79@aol.com

Hello To All:
     I would appreciate any input and suggestions you can offer on the 
following:
I have a basically "new" Chrome M-6 outfit with a f2 Summicron ASPH and a 
2.8 / 90. I have not been able to shoot many rolls with it , but even with 
the limited time I have had with the M-6, I have come to understand why there 
is such a following for this camera. Does it take the absolute "best" 
pictures as compared to other cameras? Who knows, since so many other factors 
(such as shooters ability and Lab choice) come into play there. Is it the 
"best" camera? With everything taken into consideration.....Quality, 
reliability, longevity, etc.....I truely believe it is.
    I do not have the time I need or want to enjoy this camera, and I do not 
want it to sit unused. Sadly, I have deceided to sell it. Can anyone offer 
advice as to where to get started with this? What is the best route to 
selling a Leica? Is online auction a real option?
     I appreciate your advice.
