I had sold my Leica gear, big mistake. I had owned a M3, M6TTL and M7. 
Last December I bought a M6 and I think it's the best camera I have ever 
owned. The M3 would have won out but it didn't have an integrated light 
meter. Other than that it was the closest to perfection of any 
mechanical device I've ever seen.
