Remember Arthur <Weegee> Felig. ;-) I would say that the Leica made photographers like HCB and Winogrand possible...but that isn't really photojournalism as much as "street photography" perhaps. Anyway, the announcement that I just received from my Leica rep. is that they are going to start making the M6 TTL .85 HM in chrome due to popular demand. These should be available in the next couple of months according to the announcement. I guess it is about time. ;-) later, Rich
