Hi All,


I agree. I just bought a M6 BECAUSE it was manual. If I need all the 
electronic stuf I use an SLR

Dear Colleagues,

You are missing the point. The worst thing that could happen would be to 
get 
what you're dreaming about. If Solms bestowed an electronic M on you, it 
would be bogus. Why? Because it would not be manual. It would lose the 
tactile quality that makes the M the precision camera system it is. It 
would 
be an assembled camera, not a hand finished camera. That loss would show 
in 
the negatives and prints.

I'm sick of fast food type cameras and systems.

BR
