Well, just received my so much anticipated M6 after nearly month of 
shipments and camera traveling from US to me (I'm in Israel).
What a fine piece of craftmanship ! I'm so impressed..wow :-)
I feel kind of fetishist grasping the camera in my hands with my 
Summicron 50mm/2 (latest version) attached, extremely solid feeling of 
simplicity yet robustness...

I'm thankful to our fellow member Hank Kellner whose camera I happened 
to acquire on Ebay, it was a total pleasure to deal with this gentlemen, 
very rewarding experience corresponding with him.
The camera arrived at least in the condition as described by him, if not 
even better...complete with entire set (strap, all papers, original box, 
batteries) exactly as described in his auction.

Justy went through the manual making sure I understand the possible new 
user pitfalls, have yet loaded the film, but having ready the roll of 
Kodak 400CN to go through tomorrow...:-)
It seems to be teh perfect tool to garsp my zone metering estimation skills.

Hopefully will happily swamp my yet to born LUG gallery (and my personal 
site galleries) with my first Leica-made images....

Best and Happy New Year to all LUGers and families..
Alex
