I "married" my M6 a year and a half ago and the "honeymoon" is still just beginning. MK >Well, now I've got the M6HM (a bit of time spent toying with both the >0.72 and the 0.85 settled *that* issue). Also a 50 'cron-M (second-to- >last; I have a strong preference for fixed, rigid shades) and a 35 >'lux-M ASPH. Now, the latter lens provided a bit of a shock. I've >shot some big glass in my time - 11" telescopes, a $200,000 Leica >laser scanning confocal microscope - but this was the first optic that, >straight out of the box, intimidated me. Maybe it was what it represented >as a proportion of my income, maybe it was that wild, concave front >element. But this lens is one a serious piece of work. I'm glad I didn't >get a Noctilux; I would have passed out on opening the box!
