Hooooo-ah! (M6 on the way)
I just won an auction for a very early M6. Got a dent in it, some wear to the finish: just how I like 'em, and waiting for the black duct tape over the red dot and white paint.

50/2 Hexanon in the mail and I just ordered a 75/2.5 Voigtlander. Almost blew for the V'lander 35/1.7 at the same time but I haven't sold everything yet.

Look out!

US$911 for the body. Hopefully that number's not an ominous foreshadowing of what'll happen when I use the camera.

I'm blown away by how small the Hexanon 50/2 is - it arrived just now.

Congratulations, merciful! A dream come true... or is this (like it was to me) your little sports car?

Good job! You were quick!

I've been dreaming Leica since I saw the first roll I ran through my Canonet.

Full review? It's unlikely I'll shut up about it. Stand by!

Wait till you see the pictures it takes. It may not sport a red dot, but it's the nicest thing since sliced bread

The Hexanon sounds interesting, especially the comment about small size. Is it smaller than the Summicron?
