I'd love to get one but they seem pretty flashy. Thnx John >> John, the black paint M6TTL's are a bit shiny, but they do brass nicely once you start using them. The paint does not "dull" as such, but it is less noticeable after a while. I like the black paint cameras for purely tactile reasons. They have a bit of a "warmer" feel than the chrome or black chrome ones (Tuulikki, my wife, claims that I should get a life rather than comparing tactile sensory experiences with different finishes on cameras!). There is a persistent rumour that there will be a small series of LHSA Cameras with 0,58 finders in them. That's the one to grab as that finder is the best Leica ever made, at least if you are going to use the 35mm lenses. All the best, Tom A - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
