The older camera seems to me to be more solidly made and shutter release much smoother. The nice thing about a meterless camera is it forces you to take up and NOTICE exposure. You can take several different readings with a handheld meter and gain considerable improvement in having precisely exposed pictures or creative exposures. Its easy to completely ignore exposure concerns when you are simply matching arrows. Once you master exposure, it makes no difference which M you use. Thus, there becomes no advantage to using the M6 and you get, with an M3, that great viewfinder with no clutter at all. Bob - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
