Well, I have only had the classic for about a month. (Bought it from a LUGger and am very pleased with it.) So far, it really doesn't bother me. However, on my recent family vacation to Wiiliamsburg, VA I took the M6 and M6TTL along with 35, 50 and 90 lenses. I thought I had finally reached Leice nirvana and was ready for an enjoyable family vacation and some picture taking. What I finally realized was that great Leica setup is perfect when I am alone. With my family in tow I become very frustrated very fast. And was kickign myself for having sold my F5 and zoom lenses. (OK, the F5 is iffy.) Upon my return I purchased a very nice Canon system I am extremely pleased with. So, I am one happy little camper. (-; Now, the next family vacation I will kick myself for not bringing the Leica!
