Tina - I'd be willing to bet that you could do just fine with the M6 with 35 1.4
and 90 summicron. I spent six weeks in ORs with an OM4 with a 24 2.8, 35 f 2 and
100 f2 and found I really didn't need anything else...if I did it again it would
definitely be with the M6 and the two lenses I mentioned above although a 21 or
24 would certainly be nice...
