That turned into a much livelier discussion than I could have imagined. I have a couple of M6TTL questions. 1) Is the meter more sensitive than the "classic"? In other words, if you have a 50 Summicron on the classic and go into a dark environment the meter will stop reading at a certain darkness (pretty technical, huh?). Anyway, if you then switch to the TTL with same lens will it read another stop or two into the darkness that the "classic" would not? 2) Does the 2.5 mm in additional size seem to matter? Does it feel different? (This coming from a man with medium-to-small hands who--when working on the street--wraps the neckstrap around my wrist and holds the camera in my hand.) 3) Is there any feeling what the repair people say about the two cameras? Is the TTL as reliable as the "classic"? I know many feel the "classic" isn't that great from a reliability standpoint. My M6 went back for a warranty repair on the transport in first year of ownership--1988--but no problems since. It still has the red "Leitz" button on the front. (I carry and use it everyday--it's a user). Thanks for your patience. [I've been on list since August-or-so (having owned Ms since 1966 when I was 18), and have enjoyed the dialogue. I haven't read all 17,000+ messages, but it's been interesting.] Best, John Fulton Fort Worth - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
