Default MP and M6 TTL

I couldn't resist a sale on a Mint MP Demo this week. I already have an M6 TTL, which is a beaut by the way. Question is: has anyone kept and used both? The exposure wheels turn in opposite directions so I was thinking that I'd put the M6 up for sale.

Default AW: MP and M6 TTL

if you need two bodies why not keep them?
i was thinking about the exposure wheel issue too, before adding the m6 to the m6ttl i had in my bag. they both feel different once you take them in your hand and after very short time you will turn your wheels automatically in the right direction without even recognizing.
no big issue.

try it.

I had an MP (sold) and now have an M6TTL. The shutter speed dial direction (and size) of the M6TTL (and M7) is more intuitive and easier to use while looking through the VF, IMHO.

The exposure wheel direction issue is a nonsense. If its a problem you just havent bothered to learn the camera yet.

I used to shoot side by side an M6 TTL and M4. No problems.
