I'd second this advice.  I have an M3 and an M4 that I use this way - the 35
or the 50 on the M4, the 50 or the 90 on the M3.  The M3 is a fantastic body
for using a 90 - the framing is so much better than on an M6.  BTW, I just
bought an M6, so I suspect it will be replacing the M4 to give me the exact
setup we're recommending (though I won't get rid of the M4 unless my
financial manager shrieks :-)
