However I made no comment on the relative merits of the two designs, I *merely* said that *I* wanted the older direction. I used the M6TTL for a couple of days at Solms, and I like it. Used on its own, or in combination with other M6TTL bodies, the size of the dial , the sensible direction and the three LED display are clear improvements. However, when I try to use an M6TTL alongside an M3, M4, M6 .72 and M6 .85, it's a gold-plated, fur-lined, ocean-going, rocket-powered f**k-up from start to finish. I can't deal with a set of virtually identical camera bodies where *one* of them has a shutter dial that goes in the opposite direction. This is undoubtedly because I am a weak-willed and feeble minded person, but nevertheless it's my experience, and so I intend to spend some of my own hard-earned and tax-paid money getting what *I* want, rather than what someone else thinks I ought to have... - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "The more opinions you have, the less you see." -- Wim Wenders. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
