The F is forty >years old; the M6 TTL is only about 15 years old, if I remember correctly >(?). though you really must admit, the M has _not_ evolved significantly past the nikon F from its earliest inception -- the design has _for the most most most part_ remained _identical_ since the introduction of the camera. with the exception of the light meter, the ONLY real changes of any significance have been a better viewfinder, the replacemnt of that stupid spool with a stupid fork, and the replacement of that stupid rewind knob with that signficantly better rewind knob, and the loss of the self timer. other than that, it's basically the same camera. my point being: the M is yesterday's technology too. i love mine, but you can't compare the evolution of the nikon f line with the evolution of the leica m line -- only one of them really evolved, the other's like a crocodile -- still around, still chugging along. (still eating dogs and children -- stay away from the river bank please) fwiw, kc
