R: New Gear? good lenses+good mind = good pictures

["Guido Ridoli" <guirid@numerica.it>]

I agree with you, but the "new" M6 is selling from 1984;  O.K. it is the
lastest=20
Leica M but you can't compare a "lastest" buyer and a "Leica" buyer.
The first need the up to date product  because he think to get with new
Camera=20
better pictures (sorry to Nikon and Canon friends).=20
The second know that the only way to to get good pictures is:
a) good lenses
b) good mind
he wants a magic box that allows all this. With the "up to date" LEICA M6
you can.
It is easy and quickly with its exsposure meter and its multi viewfinder.=
It
will takes you to wonderful pictures all over the world, all your life.

I have M3 ds; M2; MDa; M4-P; M5; and of course M6, I enjoi to use all my
LEICA body, for example with the 21/2,8 I use only the MDa with his
viewfinder of course and for focusing I works with hyperfocale mode; but =
if
 I have to choose only one "magic box" for example, for a trip, I use M6.
