I shoot an R6, mainly as I love all mechanical with the convenience of built in metering and it is a route into Leica glass. I have never had a rangefinder and have always wanted an M, probably an M6 is an analogue of my R6 but am having trouble over wether to take the plunge so am requesting advice over the tangible advantages of moving to an M6.
Pros
Easier to carry and handle
Probably quicker snapping
Access to interesting glass outside M mount
Cons
The cost of the body and lenses would mean a significant time spent saving to get even close to a buy. Is that worth it? (Like a year to save I reckon)
Although I cannot get interesting non Leica glass in the R6, is the M glass really any better to justify the change? Should I just take the money saved on an M body and invest in better R glass?
