Then it would be an M6! That was not the intent of the M6J. The 
market will dictate, Stephen. If the late Ms are what you say then 
they will suffer ever decreasing sales and ultimately die. So far, 
they're selling all they make.

I sold out of a high tech, state of the art Canon system for the 
simplicity of the M and R systems. I'm happy, have no desire for even 
the R8, and hope that the market will continue to allow me to be a 
throwback!
