I would like to think is was possible to get an M3 style top plate- actually, I suppose it would have to be an M4 style- that had the engraving on TOP. The M6 is without a doubt a nice camera, but I wish mine had the lovely engraving on top like the LTMs and earlier Ms! They have a certain panache, "Je ne sais quoi"- and style. The plain old top is just, plain, well- PLAIN AND !UGLY! I wonder what it would cost. Dan ( I like-a what the "Leica" does for me!)
