RE: M - Black or Chrome

Dick:

Are you going for another M6 camera? Do you still have your R7 or did you 
sell that?

The M6 you sold me has been all over the place here in the NW. Hiking last 
weekend in the Cascades, and over to Mt. St. Helens as 2 examples. I'm very 
happy with it. So far, no dings, dents or scratches (knock on wood)!

Hey, LUGGERS,

Someone has to stand up for chrome!!!  I have one and love it and the way
it looks and works.  It is about as enjoyable to hold and handle as it is
to use, and I am a user. True, I am a hobbyist and, perhaps, I might feel
differently if I were a journalist taking it God only knows where and who
might be around me.

I will probably be using it only in USA and Canada.  I have had no
problems or looks, as far as I know.  I don't cover the red dot.  Some
other countries (without naming them - someone had a list a while ago,
don't remember where) I might not feel quite so safe.

When I went to Sweden several years ago I took an R4 with 50/2.0 and
Hasselblad with 80/2.8 -both black (both carried at the same time to look
like a tourist my wife says).

I have been trying to get sufficient funds together to buy a new M6,
before the price decrease runs out.  If I can ever do this - it will also
be chrome.  Probably shoot K25 in one and K200 in the other.
