Actually in the Nov/Dec 2000 issue of Photo Techniques, Mike J listed 2
Leicas in his article "25 Best Cameras". Number 2. was the LHSA black-paint
M6, and Number 7. was the Leica M6 "Classic".  He had this to say about the
M6 classic:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

for me, what does it say about the choice of cameras in that list -- it was
a strange choice, and perhaps reflected his personal choices rather than
being hard nosed -- he was after all, leaving the publication thereafter.
Again IMHO, he should have given the M6 the nod, and made comments about
model choices within the discussion  --- there is really little difference
in pure photography terms between them.
