Otto, I have used 5 different M6 since 1987, and I never had any problems with anyone of them! Keep your old cameras, but I can tell you that the M6 meter surely is nice to have. Let us be fair: all constructions will be changed over the years, and the M6 IS a new camera, compared to the older M:s. The only thing in the previous postings that worried me, were the reports about the faulty frame counters. The problem was caused by a faulty spring, not the construction. Leica use many parts made by other contracted firms, and I guess this is the weak point compared to the old times.
