If you want the most up-to-date Leica film camera, incorporating the same auto exposure you will find on the M10, then the choice is clear — it's the current Leica M7. But the pre-auto cameras with light metering, including the superseded M6 and the current MP, that seem to attract most followers. Why is this?

After all the scurrying around London with Adam Lee and our M3, M7 and III cameras, I slotted a film into the lovely, mint-condition M6TTL I bought at a bargain price at last year’s Bièvres Camera Fair in France.
