>>4475755 You don't need an external lightmeter all the time if you learn sunny 16., plus I mentioned other issues with the M6 such as the corroding zinc top plate.
It's not a bad camera at all, and yes all of the potential issues can be mitigated and/or ignored, but I think it's still one of the worst value M cameras.
A great condition M4 costs maybe 1500$-1800$, meanwhile an equivalent M6 can be up to and above 3k. That's potentially another grand or more for a light meter.
>>4475768I think if you're going to spend upwards of 5k on a camera body it should last a lifetime. My problem isn't with digital Leicas failing, it's that they are priced as if they are still these flawlessly engineered mechanical devices which are built to last.
Leica lives on the laurels of its analog years, not on the merit of their current digital cameras.
