I have the same combination and I just now realized that it's true! Funny how I never noticed, maybe because my Leica lenses have focus tabs, so the muscle memory doesn't get confused.
That's cheatingI do not have a focus direction problem when I use the Nikon because I use Nikon AF equipment.

It's great to be back among friends. Oddly enough, I've never met anyone in person (except once in Portland when we got together to see a John Sexton lecture).Welcome back!
It’s good to see old friends returning to APUG.
lol. That's what I said to myself about my various Canon SLRs when I started to buy the Nikons. Truly, the "new" did wear off on the Nikons eventually, but not before I sold all of the Canon equipment except for the F1-n. I'm going to take a look at my Nikons and find any duplication in lenses and functionality in bodies. For example, the FM seems to be an F2 minus the pro level build.Don't sell the Nikons. You'll regret it in time once the newness of the M6 wears off.
The ingenuity required to make a Leica do the work of a Nikon and vice versa was fascinating.
I won't be able to post pictures from the M6/Zeiss 35mm as my darkroom went out of commission after my septic system turned belly up. I won't be back in commission until after the $45k sewer conversion is done. Perhaps I can scan film images (I can get away with 1 roll of 35mm before the downstairs toilet starts bubbling up with backed up septic - Yuck!) and post?
Luckily it didn't. Age did it. The system was installed when I was 5 years old. That was um... a long time ago. It's just worn out. If you have a fresh septic tank, there are ways you can mitigate the "damage" done by your darkroom chemicals.Ooof, tell me having the darkroom did not trash the septic?
I find the FM's to be one of the finest Nikons ever.lol. That's what I said to myself about my various Canon SLRs when I started to buy the Nikons.

Lol, you haven't tried DPD in Germany! Typical story: at 3pm you get an email, "your parcel is arriving within the hour", together with a live position of the delivery truck within a few 100's meters of your home. Then nothing comes. At best you get a notice that the package could not be delivered as no one was there (??) and is waiting for you in some store, whose distance is inversely proportional to the square of the weight of the parcel. At worst, it "was" delivered - but you have no clue where and to whom.Fedex is the worst. I mean the absolute worst.
They left an overnight envelope with a large check in it on the wet ground in the drizzling rain next to my mailbox.
Congratulations on the Leica. Can't wait to see the Nikon gear.

Lol I see, I got everything mixed up again. Thanks for correcting!Don't you mean "the distance is directly proportional to the cube of the mass in kilometers"?
Love the Stephen Shore background as a marker of time for those cameras, BradS. Thanks!
