Leica M6, with 50 Summicron and Russian 35 and 85 lenses. I cannot seem to get used to the M6. I'm too slow to focus the rangefinder, and sometimes I just forget it's not the MX and think that if what I see is in focus the picture will also be. The other day I spent about one hour taking the last 20 shots of a roll, walking around chinatown in San Francisco. When I finished, I pulled out the MX with K30/2.8 and then K85/1.8 and shot a roll and a half in 30 minutes, in the same two or three blocks I had been walking around with the M6. I guess I have to keep practicing with the Leica, but don't want to give up the MX. I also have a whole bunch of other cameras, like a nice Canonet QL17, a couple of Russian rangefinders, Russian Lubitels 6x6 TLRs, some Kodak Brownies, etc. More cameras than I need, like most of us. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
