That is a beautiful camera. I really like Leica, but have never had money and desire coincide such that I could get one. The M6 seems like an ideal Leica if you're a "user". Nice lens selection too!

I've gone through phases of being into photography. In the last one I used Hasselblad stuff, still a whole Hassy set sitting in the closet. Before that it was 35mm SLR via various Canons.

I seem to be starting another phase now, focused on rangefinders. When I was in Japan last year, I picked up a used Canon P rangefinder, which is a fairly uncommon beast here in the US. Last week I dug out my old Rollei 35. Today I dropped by a local camera show and got a nice Olympus XA for casual use.

However, to go further in this I'm going to need a digital darkroom. I don't have room for the wet kind. So I am researching film scanners . . .
