Message-ID: <20020320064340.75246.qmail@web9105.mail.yahoo.com> References: Dear All, There are differing opinions on the best M model. Seems there's no pleasing everyone ... or is there? How about if Leica marketed an M kit? You would have a choice of parts that would enable you to configure your own personal M camera! For instance, you would be able to choose: * whether the shutter should be electronically or mechanically timed * viewfinder magnification * which framelines should be included * whether to include a light meter * size and direction of rotation of the shutter speed dial * colour and finish of body and fittings, with options such as black chrome, silver chrome, titanium, "panda", black paint * choice of standard baseplate, RapidWinder or Motor-M * grip style and size * film advance lever style (e.g. M6 or M3) * etc. etc. Another thought: as with a motor car, I wonder how much extra it would cost to build up an M camera from spare parts, instead of buying it ready-made?
