After doing Nikons for 35 years, I picked up an M6 with a 35 Summicron f2 a few months ago. I'm very impressed with the results. (By the way, regarding the M7 thread, for me the M6 represents a certain purity of technique and composition. One doesn't need more gadgetry to make good photographs. I think of Andre Kertesz, who's images are among the most elegant and moving I've ever seen. He worked with box cameras and early Leicas... amazing.) Anyway, I'm thinking of adding a second lens. This has most likely been covered, so please excuse this bit of ignorance. Can someone tell me the differences between the 90 "Fat" Tele-Elmarit f2.8 and the 90 Elmarit-M 2.8? Quality? Size? Weight? Thanks in advance. Oh, by the way.... I am very much enjoying learning from all of you. Dave Myers General Manager Blue Lake Public Radio West Michigan
