Re: Leica - starter camera

i think the m6 in any of its guises is a good camera, and in the past
couple of years, prices have drifted into the $1,250 to $1,500 range.
the m6 is relatively new (it was made for about 20 years starting 
from 1984), has built-in metering, and there are many on the used market.  
i personally like the proportions and handling of the m6 classic, but the 
m6 TTL is also a nice camera.
