You are aware that it’s only a MP with a different top plate... right?
And no, norhing in the M6J is far superior to the M3; commonly known as the camera Supreme.
You are too easy to wind up.

If you had told me 5 years ago that those silly Olympus Mju or whatever they are would be going for crazy money nowdays I'd have said you were nuts.
It was introduced in 1994 making it a regular M6 with some fancy touches. Still has the M6 the zinc top plate but with raised frames around the viewfinder window.
I was just looking at the stupid prices for the Millennium and none are as nice as the one I sold.
I did not care for my R3A. I could not see why anyone would use that clanky lump if they had a Leica M. Gave it a try to see what it was about, got rid of it.
I asked Lee Friedlander about this. Apparently he is not a Leica fanboy; said his Leicas are in a drawer since getting a Bessa.

Sentiment like displayed in this thread is why I’d never ever consider a Leica.
Leica was eliminated from my list because it is a range finder. Still there is nothing the feels like a Leica M series, but close still means no cigar.
I appreciate its history and the quality of the product itself, but by now it’s just too tainted with an amount of bourgeois pretentiousness that is almost tangible.
I wouldn’t want to be associated with 90 percent of the people shooting Leica today.
Much the same could be said about film itself, but here we all are.
God help you if your favorite thing becomes popular with the wrong people.
As someone very wise once told me on this forum... "No one got into photography to save money."
Some people like goat cheese. I hate it. Should I like it?
