I had one for a while. And while the meter was probably the best I have ever experienced it was too heavy and clunky. Meanwhile a light SLR gives me those speeds.

All his imaginary problems would be solved!
So when you are sporting a couple M7's, beautiful women just let you walk up and take their picture?? The Leica mystique!
Your black is way off. A green tint. Probably because of the ND filter. As a matter of principle I don’t want to mess up with the contrast of the 28mm Elmerit. Tried a lot of ND. Even in video “where they are necessary“ the results are annoying.
Her hair was dyed green in places. She is an artist.
That's ok, keep whining. While I take photos of beautiful women with my new Leica M6, wide open in bright sunshine.
What was the first lens that you attached to your new M6? I'm longing to get my hands on one.
DHL has not yet delivered it... But I am thinking the 35 FLE.
I thought it would be some two hundred dollar 7 Artisans just to keep in the full hipster mode.

Well, I spent a summer with a shitty M7 only working on 1/60 and 1/125.
Spent a summer shooting 35mm @ F16... great pics. Never missed shitty over rated bokeh.
Did you forget to pack a battery? It’s a shame you have shitty bokeh. Maybe try a different lens?
If you have an out of focus background, you want it to look good, and some lenses are better at it than others, but the obsession with bokeh is incomprehensible to me. People post images which otherwise would have been pitched in the bin and say ooo-ahh look at the bokeh. And it has been going on for twenty years or so. Seems like it is time to move on to the next obsession. I note diffusion filters may be making a comeback, but they are in an existential struggle with sharpness so I don't rate their prospects high.Suuuure, boke is a magnificient tool to add some ohlala to a woman’s portrait, but it should be used strictly as an Utilitarian tool for street and reportage: where it will look natural in a low light setting, but absolutely unnatural in a well lit scene.
Looking at some forced blur is something that’s very bothering to my eye. The background of a goven scene, the setting, is extremely important. Blurring it out forcefuly screams amateurism. It is not art by any means.
This is all so ironic.
To answer your questions: the problem was that I forgot to bring a proper M.
And you should read what Don Goldberg has to say about the M7’s mechanism. Not tender about it, no sir. I will not copy paste his email but you can ask him.
The lens in question? The bokeh king. Ironic, innit?

Looking at some forced blur is something that’s very bothering to my eye. The background of a given scene, the setting, is extremely important. Blurring it out forcefuly screams amateurism. It is not art by any means.
My propos about bokeh sounds crazy to the newbie crowd, I know. Because bokeh is exactly why they think their “art” is special, and their equipment legendary. And separating your eye from your mind’s eye, or to say it better: to see your work as it is, and not what you THINK it is, is a very long road. It’s exactly the same syndrome as Anorexia, where if you’d ask the anorexic person to draw himself, he would invariably draw a very fat character.
Breaking the wall between what we think we see and what we actually see is a lifetime work. And I’m not saying I’m above any of this: if I had to surf through all my prints I think
I’d burn 95% of it with a “wtf was I thinking” face.
Personally I just want to know whether we can be assured that this new camera - or any other camera for that matter - will produce "unique deep grey tones with an almost silvery/metallic look".
Sarcasm alert!
Anyone else marveling at the bickering in this thread, which purports to be about a ~$7,100.00 CDN camera (sans lens) that has been made available in limited quantities - for a select few, of course?
Us moderators have been doing that - with virtual popcorn of course. And in my case, with a rueful look.

And to those who are doing the bickering, I'll put on my moderators hat for a moment and say: "cut it out, or take it elsewhere".
Moderator's interruption over.
And Sarcasm alert over as well.
