Thank you!
Indeed, a CLA'd late model of the first-gen M6 seems to be the "peak Leica" moment of their rangefinder series.

I might even toy with the idea to nix the R kit....but I wont.

I dont think so.If it serves you....
I'm still not a fan of the zinc topsheet era.....

The M6, the plain, 1980s one, is "peak Leica" - because it is not a collectable item, not rare, not "curated", nothing. No urban legends, no brassing this and that.
Just a spot-on classic, so spot on that many people try to push it off its pedestal, which is just a confirmation of its status quo.

At the same time I get the excitement of a new Leica, may we long have that opportunity available to us.

What is your black M body? Looks like a black lacquer M4 ???
Titanum is very nice, but I could not bring myself to pull the trigger on one (yet).
To be frank, those are cameras for collectors. I am not a collector, and not a DIY fiddler. But a user.
There's no need to trim the leader when loading film in an M2 (or an M3).
I'd argue same is true for the Barnacks. It certainly can be done reliably without the trim. Business card trick works.

So, back from a short trip. M6 is the GOAT travel camera.
If you want a modern rangefinder, from 1990s and not 1950s, one that can be serviced by many experienced factory or independent technicians, that can be easily replaced because so many were made, that can easily be found pre-owned, that is most likely to return its purchase price when selling later (if at all)...
...then the Leica M series are the most obvious choice. Sure, there might be some niche and leftfield alternatives.
Dear members
Today my new M6 arrived. In black, in very good condition. A dry run gave all the correct results. Now I am taking it on a 4 day trip for a road test.
This could be the foundation of my two camera./ three lens setup.
