Nathan,

Congratulations on buying your new M6HM! Hope you like it as much as I do.

I just got back from two weeks in Cuba. Did not take the 'Tom A. softie', in
fear of losing that special LUG softie you know about.

The M6, with 50/2 and 24/2.8,  performed really well. A high percentage of
slides were well exposed, also on Agfa Scala, pushed tot 1600 for the shots
in the Casas de la Trova. That is where they play Son and other Cuban music.

My friends told me that they found the M6 to be really inobtrusive and less
threatening than SLR cameras, especially with flash. Poeple also react well
this camera, I found out.

Cuba is a marvel for photographers with photogenic landscapes and colonial
cities and really friendly people. Very wellcoming and inviting you into
their homes all the time.

We rented a car and drove 2000 km!

Will put some pics on the net when they are dry!

Sander
