If you are out of blood, start putting those kidney's on Ebay and go for a 8x10 view camera. Paul – certainly you can’t stop here.

I'm sure you will love it. As for the 36 exposures, you don't really have to shoot the whole roll when you are doing your own development. On a number of occasions I have taken my Nikon into the darkroom, trimmed off the exposed film and loaded it into the tank for development, then re threaded the remainder of the roll. This simple process is particularly useful when doing test shots, and I've developed as few a 8 or 10 shots in this way, giving 2 or 3 test sessions per roll of 36. Just a suggestion. adam paul

From your photo it looks like the M6 is in great shape. Now we're all waiting for those first shots--no pressure! ;-) Hey, Christmas has arrived early this year!

UPS seems to have a policy to deliver to your next door neighbour if not home. My Macbook Pro was delivered like this, luckily they choose my good neighbour, not my bad. Happy shooting, now! :) Great to hear it arrived safe; even I felt the panic grow when reading of the package’s whereabouts.

Don't make us wait too long for those first shots. I know that disclaimer about taking a long time for 36 exposures was supposed to set us for waiting patiently. I'm not falling for it.
