Several months ago, I caught the RF & film and checked out the Bessa vs Ikon vs M6 (B&H had everything there). Loved the fabulous VF on the Ikon but compared against an M6 for tactile sense, solidity and residual value, there was no contest. In the end, I found a .85 M6 at Camera West, negotiated a fair price (a few hundred more than a standard .72) and bought it.
The Bessa, also with a nice VF/RF, felt like a toy (no offense to Bessa fans, I hear the metering is stellar).
