Subject: [Leica] Re: M6-TTL desireable???

This discussion reminds me of how I felt about the "Panda" M6 back in the
early 1990's.  As many of you know, this chrome M6 had black dials and other
black features.  Personally, I thought this was the ugliest Leica I had ever
seen and many others agreed.  Of course, Pandas are now worth more than
black or chrome M6's .... so, given the response to this new ugly duckling
TTL M6 with the odd, backwards dial and the less then useful TTL, the thing
should be worth A MINT!  Buy em now!  The worse the better  ;-)
