I am strongly in the Hexar camp, and continue to be burdened with this question. Other than a warm feeling of superiority, in what ways is an M6 better than a Hexar RF -- objective measurable ways? Not, "it sounds quieter to me" Is fumbly loading better? Is a flare prone rangefinder better? Would you rather have a shutter that is considered correctly adjusted when it's speeds are within 1/3 of a stop? Would you rather have a 1/50 flash sync? Are you so tempted by DX coding that you'd rather not have the option. Is it bad to have the choice of using AE? Would you rather have a shutter that tops out at 1/1000th of a second, and then with poor accuracy?
