I would say that, after using an M3 for a couple of years, then moving to an M4-P and then an M6, that the M4 platform was quicker for me to load and rewind. Having an internal meter on the M6 makes it faster-handling for me than the M4-P. And although the frame lines can be distracting, you can use a wider range of focal lengths on an M6 with less guessing as to the framing. Faster-handling, more convenient. But obviously not everybody feels that way.......

Come on folks, the only feature you can really call an >upgrade is the built in meter. Am I missing something here? What are all >of the other features that make the M6 better than the M3. Paul C.
