To a Leica-wannabe-user, like myself, I was referring to the information available in brochures at camera shops in Canada, outlining the M6. Perhaps I should explain. I want to purchase an M6, but I am struggling, much like I did when I bought my first Hasselblad, because of the cost. For the time being, I can only afford the body and one or two lenses. I am struggling over some rather trivial issues, like which of the three available bodies to go with (is it just a matter of preference, as I suspect?). If I go with the titanium body, I wanted to know if any of the available lenses can be ordered with the titanium finish. Dumb ... It seems as if this is a cosmetic consideration only. Perhaps I should try to decide which of the available lenses to get. This is even more of a bummer. I've photographed for 20 years, using mainly fixed focal length lenses, so the decision should be fairly straightforward, but it's not. Help me out here. Can any of you relate to the kinds of things I am going through? If so, I would appreciate your advice. -- George Huczek Internet: ghuczek@gdipa.unibase.com
