They have done nothing to improve upon their M2 RF. and they gave up on long lenses after the m4-p. It's too little too late and they are now stuck in a niche market which can be taken away from them if any of the large mfgs ever decide to do so. The whole thing is a joke really. The M series is now as limited as it is irrelevant. Sorry Javier >>>> Oh go away! I love my M6 and I love my absurdly expensive 35m Summilux that gives me pictures that I can't tell apart from those taken with a 35mm Nikkor that cost me a quarter of the price. I love the engraved film counter and the brass body that feels like it could kill an elephant with a well placed throw. I love the solid thunk of the lens hood on my 90mm Elmarit when I extend it. I love the little click of the shutter and the ultra positive clicks of the aperture ring. But most of all, and above all else, I love taking pictures with it. I've got a Sheaffer pen with a solid gold nib and I love writing with that, would you like to try and sell me a biro? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
