Herbert, I agree with you completely on the quality of the M6J, but I do 
not appreciate Leica's excessive price and its Leica Marketing
strategy.  Sure, it is a great camera,  BUT
     
Legendary Leica quality of the 50's and 60's and turned into just a 
legend for the 90's.
     
Leica uses it reputation to overcharge whenever possible.  Take a long 
hard look at its seemingly endless series of commemoratives as well as 
the M6J.  I know of no other camera manufacturer which charges roughly 4 
times the normal body price for a camera which has the high standards 
that ALL of its cameras used to have 40 years ago.
     
The M6J should not be a special M6.   Rather it should be a standard M6 
at a reasonable price for everyone.
