I have started to use M camera for about 6 months. I started with a user M2, a 50mm cron lens and a handheld meter. It has been wonderful experiences of using this camera to take photos and now 90% of my photos are taken by this camera, my SLR, DSLR and digital camera are seating quietly inside dry boxes. In the past couple of months, I have also bought a 35 cron and 28 Elmarit, the 35'con is now my favorite lens. I like to use wide lens rather than tele lens. I am now considering to buy a 2nd body. However, I am in a dilemma of which M body to buy. Shall it be body with meter (M6 / M6 TTL) or another purely mechanical one (M2 / M3 or M4). MP and M7 is out of my range. Logically speaking a M6 or M6 ttl seems to be a good complement of a M2 and the VF of M6 seems to be brighter than M2. However the quality of build of M2 seems better than M6. I gradually get used to the way of using camera with no internal meter but it is no harm to have additional convenience of a build-in meter. Any suggestions to me.
