I'm seeking advice from you experienced M6 users on the following: 1. I'd like to know a reputable US Leica dealer from whom I can purchase via mailorder. (And to my understanding there is no taxes for mail order sales within the US, is that right?) 2. A friend of mine can get me an M6 TTL and 50/F2 (both black and brand new) for about US$2,500 after-tax in Asia. This seems to be a bit lower than the US prices, but I don't get the passport warranty. Is this a good idea? 3. What's the consensus opinion on HM vs. non-HM? I tend to shoot in the 35mm-50mm range. I like the brightness of the HM finder and the large 50mm framelines. But I don't like the way the 35mm framelines look. Thanks for your input. Rgards, Chris
