I have an M3, M2, and M6's. The M6 Classic is my choice of the best M 
camera. I have the M6 rangefinder adjusting tool so it costs me nothing to 
re-align my M6 RF. And that seems to not need doing but maybe once every 
two or three years. The camera works, on a whole, as well as the M2 & M3, 
takes more of a variety of lenses (with frame lines) and includes a meter. 
After thousands of rolls of film, I've never had an M6 break. I believe 
that Ted will also testify to the heartiness of an M6. Cow sh** and all.
