The new M6 TTL in Leica and Rangefinders Posted January 20, 2000 I have been using the M6 TTL for the last three months and have found it to be very notional to use. I did not have the earlier version of the M6 so I do not have the problem with the shutter speed dial turning in the other direction. I did borrow the earlier version for a test and have found the new readout of the exposure in the view finder much easier to use with the dot in the center. The "off" position on the dial is a god send since I know I would have the problem of running the battery down. Currently the only lens I am using with it is the new 35mm f/2 ASPH Summicron and I can not say enough about how happy I am with it. The contrast is the traditional Summicron look and the lens is tack sharp. I would trade the body for an earlier m6 long before I would let go of this lens!
