You know, Howard, in my opinion, any M camera with a small automatic
Metz will be pretty easy to operate, even for fill flash. You won't have
the view-finder "flash ready" indicator, but other than that, I for one
don't see the big advantage of TTL flash. But, that's just me. If I were
in the market, I would look for an advantageous price on a new, discontinued
M-6 {HM if you use a 90 or 135}, and buy sooner rather than later and at a
better price. Also, Leica is famous for bugs in early production units.
