Now, on the other hand, I think that almost all the users of a M camera will agree that there is a special pleasure to use it. More than with any other camera. And that once you start it's not so easy to stay with only one. Even if M users are not collecting them for display purpose, they are sometimes buying more than they really need. (not always a second new M6, but often a M3, M2 etc...) Maybe also, because some other fellow M users have a tendency to proselytize.... (Me ? noooo...) ;-) More seriously, IMO the M6 is not a collectible camera in essence. For me it's the perfect tool for a big percentage of my photographs. I can think of a lot of pictures that I made only because I had one in my bag together with my big AF reflex with huge f/2,8 zoom, or on other days, alone under my jacket. Lucien
