At the risk of continuing a discussion that might be better carried out over 
a beer the next time I'm in NY... :-)  

The M6 *was* a serious camera.  

I stand proud carrying my micro-4/3rds camera just as the early carriers of 
Leica IIIs stood proud against the press photogs with their Speed Graphics 
and Press 25 bulbs in the 1940s.   :-) 

Regards, 

Dick

P.S. I just realized that the world desperately needs an emoticon for 
"tongue stuck firmly in cheek."
