Also, the shutter was re designed a bit to accommodate the faster speed. A
magnifier was put over the frame counter for easier reading and the shutter
dial was raised a tad to facilitate operation. That's it!
A good used M6 is a great bargain. No hidden problems. If your eyes are good
and you don't need the extra shutter speed, go for it!
