I did not wake up thinking I needed a Leica M6. I knew about them and thought it would be nice to shoot one for this project but it was not high on my list. I thought I would save it for the end of the year and watch for a well used one. I had been paying attention to the prices and knew about how much to expect to pay. When I walked by The Leica Store, I went in just to look and the meager used section and grab a few of the free Leica stickers. I noticed two of the sales clerks examining an M6. They said it had just come in form a customer buying a new digital Leica. The customer could not remember if he ever used it. They were scrutinizing it and not finding any clear evidence that it had even had a lens mounted or a roll of film loaded.
