It looks just like an M6 TTL until you look real close. The shutter speed dial goes from 4 seconds to 1000th. A line between 125/60 to indicate the two batteryless back-up shutter speeds. DX which is over rideable on the back of the camera. A different film speed dial. No din. They'll be a din about that it's been gone for what? 3 decades? A collar around the shutter release like on the F3 as an on off switch. (A very good thing it sounds like to me) A longer shutter release throw. Probably as a method to freeze an exposure setting. We're checking into that. Talk about probable points of contention. But we'll see how it works in actually operation. But the overall impression is positive. Will probably update as soon as a roll goes though the camera. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
