But, yes, the M6 is the best buy out there for a user.... it has less years on it, if you do not want the meter function you just do not put in a battery, and they go for a relative pittance ( 1/2 or less) compared to newer M7 and M8 cameras...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net The M4-P introduced 28mm and 75mm framelines. It is generally regarded as better made than the M4-2. Whether that is really true or true only because it didn't have the early problems that the M4-2 had, I don't know. Very late M4-Ps had zinc alloy top covers, like the M6, with flush windows. It is essentially an M6 without a meter. IMO M6s are a better user than any of these and recent pricing is very good on M6s, but YMMV. Season's cheer John Newell
