Re: [Leica] Which Leica M6 should I buy?

[John Collier <jbcollier@home.com>]

I tried to buy an M6 for several years but never cared for the meter as it
only had the two diodes and you had to match their brightness. The TTL meter
with its extra diode, that lights when the exposure is correct, is much
faster in use. I would love a three stop +/- exposure scale in 1/3 stop
increments but I think that would be hard to do for technical reasons I
certainly know nothing about.

Here is where personal preference comes in as I think that the black body
with chrome lenses is absolutely gorgeous! The chrome body with chrome
lenses never looked right to me. Everybody is different.
