Totally agree. I hardly ever use the F6. So using your argument that is one expensive paper weight.
Yea man- There is a difference- The Leica M-A I own is just a beautiful camera that is so fun to use- I want a second body- I am on the hunt for a .58 M-A. Don’t care what color.
If I use it all the time- The cost doesn’t matter as much.

Look at it a different way. How many times have you made the decision to use a M camera while passing over the F6 for just regular walking around photography? If both cameras are being used the same amount, then the Leica is stupid expensive. If the Nikon sits and is only brought out for a specific purpose while the Leica is being used daily, the Leica is showing its value. A high initial investment offset by being used more often.
The cost is easily justified if you phrase it the right way.
I feel this way with my medium format film cameras. I rather grab my Leica cameras due to much more convenience.

I think the M-A only was available in .72. The last M cameras to have the .58, .72 and .85 options were the MP and the M7.

I think the ALC program ended before the M-A came out?
You may be right which is why I am having trouble finding one
I may have to go back to an MP for the .58 if I can't find another option. I don't really want an M6 but will go there if I find a great deal. I just love the look and feel of M-A so damn much. Especially in black chrome
