I stopped using it and reverted back to my older .72 model, hoping that maybe I could make a killing on eBay. But last week one in perfect condition sold for only $1200; so much for my dream. But this is what prompted me to start this thread. My local dealer here in Montreal told me that he can't get $1500 CDN for a used regular M6. But unless that Zeiss Ikon turns out to be some kind of miracle camera (and a bigger viewfinder alone won't do it for me) and I wanted a rangefinder, that used M6 is sure tempting. By the way, I actually prefer the .72 model, and hindsight tells me that I was slightly crazy when I bought the .85 model. -dan c.
