I've been doing some research on the M-series, and have been watching the prices on eBay. What are your views regarding the M2, say compared with an M4 or an M6 (Classic or TTL)? M2s look like they run from about $600 to $800, while M4s are about $100 more, and M6 (Classic)s are around the $1000 mark. I'm coming from a Nikon FE, and I only own a 28/2.8 and a 50/1.8. I find the the 50 is long enough for what I do, and that the 28 is pretty wide for me. I think I would do fine using a 35. I think I'd be okay using a handheld meter, for I shoot B&W film, and the latitude is pretty great. So, would paying, say on average $300 more, for an M6 (Classic) be justified?
