Yes I definitely am missing your point. Not only that, I am at a loss of
words.
I have spent quite some time trying to come up with a response that is fit
for
polite company.
But anyway
1, Who are You to say what I can be allowed to dream about?
2, What on earth makes You think that an electronic camera can NOT be
manual?
3, I dont understand your distinction between an assembled and a hand
finished camera.
4, How does an electronically controlled shutter contamine negatives and
prints.
5, How come that this does not affect slides?
Or are You just trying to say that an electronic version of the M6 would
ruin
the mystique and pride of ownership of a fully mechanical tool.
