Why should/would I want to upgrade?

... I happily moved on to a Zeiss Ikon and have no regrets aside from missing the very solid feel of the M7!

What!?

Coming from someone who has trouble with RF patch white-out (or 'finder flair'), that is very odd. The Zeiss Ikon finder whites out worse than any RF I have ever used. While the finder is large and bright, you must look through the finder perfectly centered in order for the patch to not white-out.

Dave I am in Rome. 80 miles NW of Atlanta. I don't remember discussing this but then again I am scatter brained to the max. I probably will never part with my M6. I loved the feel ofthe M3. I may get another one. I really liked the framelines on it. How is Atlanta for street photography? One of the only times I tried it there I was approached by several pan handlers.

Hey, Cosmo...

I will be in Rome this week...another visit to the CCU where my brother's wife is still being treated. They have lived in Rome 25 years or so and been up there at least one a week the past month. About a 2 hour drive for me.

How about a cup of coffee (maybe iced in THIS heat!) if we can make our schedules work?

Dear OP,

IMHO, stick with your camera and spend the money on fine lenses. I'm was in the same boat not too long ago. I wanted to get another body, a MP to be exact, but came to my senses and spent the money on good glass instead. Just learn the strong and weak points of your camera and you should be fine.
