Better for street shooting and journalism. 2) The M4-P has four complete framelines rather than the short brackets marking the bottom edge on the M6. Benefit there should be self-evident. BTW, I've noticed that the brackets on the TTL are even shorter than the Classic, and the framelines seem lighter or thinner or in some way less substantial. I don't own a TTL so I can't compare right now. IMO that's a trend in the wrong direction (but who cares?). - ---Peter - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
