M5, What a Camera

Now I have my beloved black M5 on the working table, along with the new purchased M6TTL 0.85.

The difference is obvious. The M6 looks more pretty with the right ratio (I mean the ratio of height vs width) when sitting there. But M5 is clearly a winner when it's in your hands --- the extra width give your fingers more room on the right side of the body; and it balances really well with a big lens like a Summilux 50mm.

The speed dial of the M6TTL is much better than a M6 classic, but still can't be compared with the sweet large dial on the M5.

The RF patch of the M5 is better against flare than the M6TTL and the even the black chrome finish feels obviously better than that on the M6TTL.

M5, what a camera.
