J.J.C. on a popsicle stick@! It wasn't equating an M3 with a Hugo - and 
why would anyone waste time and energy 'howling' about someone's opinion 
anyway ;-) - It was equating putting a Yugo engine - a total piece of 
crap - in a classic VW, a wonderful, reliable, solid little car, with 
putting a new M6 finder mechanism - a comparative piece of crap - in an 
M3, a wonderful, solid, reliable camera whose best feature was its 
viewfinder. Okay? ;-)
