I believe they even blew it with the M6 and the M6TTL...I mean, how the hell
hard is it to put a little switch, two small wires, two small
contacts...good grief!  It's not like it's REALLY new technology...perhaps
THIRTY FIVE YEAR OLD technology...but I guess that's NEW to Leica.

I used the M Motor tonight, and so far, I just don't like it.  I was
shooting T-Max at 800 with 15/30 shutter speed, and I can guarantee most of
my shots are fuzz balls, which would not have happened with manual wind
(Rabid or lever).  Sigh.
