Is this a change that occured when Leica went from the M3 style rangefinder system to what ended up in the M2, or was this something that happend with the advent of the M6? I have a M6TTL .85 and I must say that out here in sunny California I'm suffering from chronic patch flare (yes, I do keep the finder windows clean). I've heard that the M6 .72 and .58 are less flare prone and the M4 even more so. Is there any truth to this? I am thinking about getting a .72 as a second body and this would be a deciding factor. I can live without the built in meter of the M6 series, since I almost exclusively use a handheld meter. thanks, feli - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
