He too has noted that the older M3s are Leica's finest mechanically engineered camera. That is not to say the M6 is a bad camera, but only to say that the master craftsmen were still at Leica when the M3 was in production. As to Mr. Gandy being asked to name sources, that's an old lawyer's trick! Once named, they will be picked apart and condemned by M6 owners as heretics for mentioning that older M cameras are better built. You know, basically the same as discrediting witnesses in court.....shades of Johnny Cochran. Peter K
