Subject: [Leica] Re: M6 Shutter accuracy?

Since I am in contact with Leica more and more I just got at Saturday
the news that Leica intends to bring out a M6 with automatic modus and a
electro-magnetic shutter. I do a lot of pics and newer had real problems
with my two M6, nor with my M4-P. But because of my job and the
recommended speed, I always withed to have a M6 with automaic modus
which you can switch on, when you do not have the time to spend
attention on exposure.

But anyhow. If the shutter speed is 1/1000 or only 1/650 what the heck
does that mean even on slides?? Nothing! But that this camera has the
best lenses you can buy for money, that it is unspectacular and doesn´t
pull attention to you while taking some pictures of a delicate
situation, and that this camera works by -25° degrees celcius and in the
desert at 55° and never lets you down if dry or wet weather and that the
equipment is lighter and smaller than most of the other high quality
equiment, that are the important things of this dinosaur of camera
legacy not that silly inacuracy of bullshit.
