Hi from the Netherlands! I was using Nikon d70s for 10 years along with my dear Pentax K1000 with 50mm f/1.8 lens. I was in Cuba for 3 weeks with d70s and pretty much happy with it. But the mirror sound started to bother me since it ruined quite a few moments. Also carrying it under 35℃ was not the best thing. So I started to look for other DSLRs like Canon 6D and Nikon D750. A friend of mine recommend Fuji X100T. With the addition of Fuji, it become a total mess in my mind. I read and watched almost all the reviews that I can find. This continued for a month. Then suddenly, I realised that I can look for a second hand M6 for the similar prices. I was not already very happy with the digital (I have no rush to see my photos). Its size, weight and quietness was perfect for me. I found an excellent condition black M6 and a mint condition Summarit 35mm f/2.5 on Ebay. Everything happened in just 4 hours. I knew there was something wrong with the other options (Canon, Nikon, Fuji) because I don't think on buying something that much. And the best thing was it arrived on my birthday Now I am still with the test roll (Kodak Tri-X 400). Today I will send it to a local lab for the development and scanning. I hope light meter and rangefinder works well and do not require CLA. By the way, I wonder if there is any pro lab in the Netherlands (I live in Groningen) that you guys are very happy with the quality of the results. I used HEMA service before, but I am not happy with their color process (bw is more reasonable) Thanks in advance! Oh here some photos of my M6 classic:
