I think the more one uses their M6 the more one likes and does not feel it is an
incomplete camera but a camera which really is at it's peak... a solid
culmination of decades of tweaking.
I think in most cases: the people who do the most complaining about how the M6
needs to be improved are simply justifying their non use of the camera. And
they've never really given the camera a chance. They'll go and to get a shot and
think "not this time for the M6 this shot needs AE, AF, Zooming, high flash
synch and so on.
The only cure would be for these people to lock up all their other multitudinous
cameras in storage in a different state for a year. And then at the end of the
year figure out how many shots they DIDN'T GET. I think they'd be surprised to
find they missed few if any.

(Of course you could say the same thing about a Rolleiflex)
