You have to evaluate WHY you are interested in the M6 in the first place. If you didn't like the Zeiss lenses compared to the Nikkors, you probably won't like the Leica lenses either. Were you wanting to buy because of size? because of heritage (German vs Japanese)? or what??? Your message isn't clear and it looks to me like you like your Nikon system just fine. So what are you asking? Jim
