Subject: [Leica] seeking M6 lens opinions
From: bruce5@ibm.net

I recently purchased a chrome M6, (chose chrome over black purely for
aesthetic preference) and now I need a lens. I'd like to solicit 2
opinions:

Assuming street pics, snapshots of kids, and landscapes, which would you
consider a better choice for a first lens, a 2/50, or a 1.4/35.....or
something else?     and

Aesthetics aside, does the added weight of a chrome lens help you steady
the camera better than a lighter black one?

TIA,
