I got my self a nice chrome M6 TTL. It's in perfect condition and I like it very much. I never had chrome equipment before. How should I expect this camera to age? My other equipment (xpan) that I use a lot is covered with gaffers tape (http://brunerdog.tripod.com/care2.html#gaf) but that's because in Las Vegas during photoshow I saw an xpan that looked like somebody took it gravel surfing. Paint was peeling off and it looked horrible plus Xpan rep acknowleged that first series of cameras had this problem. Replacment that I got after I lost my first xpan in WTC on 9/11 is one of the first batches but it seems to hold up well. Since I climb, ski, kayak and hike with a camera hanging from my neck (or in the pack) I was wondering how the chrome leica will look after few years? Also does it matter if I store the camera winded or unwinded? Any general tips on care and use of the M6 will be very much welcomed. I use it with following lenses: 25mm (cosina), 35mm (f2 asph), 50 elmar and 75mm (cosina). Also any tips on shooting landscape as far as the metering goes?
