In my case, I respect the product but can't use it. I will always remember the experience as it finally dispelled the compelling need to own an M6. Now how much is that 120/4 Makro from Zeiss???? <<< Owen, If it's the lack of ground-glass viewing that makes the M6 unsuitable for what you photograph, may I suggest a Leicaflex SL? It's not as light as an M6 but has a confidence-inspiring feel of solid precision and IMHO is entirely suitable for photos of wildlife (see URL below). You can also use many if not most of the fabulous Leica APO lenses with it. BTW, I respect your preferences (and the preferences of others on the list not to use Leica for every possible situation).
