 The quality of image that this 135/F3.4 APO-Telyt-M gives is phenomenal. This
 really is a strong focal length for the M6! I find the little rectangle very 
usable! >>

Beg to differ.  An image on Kodachrome 25 is worthless because it is two to 
four f/stops off caused by the diaphragm ring being so poorly manufactured 
that it is moved by brushing against a shirt sleeve.  An image from a 50 year 
old Brownie box camera is better than that produced by the current APO 135 mm 
that is many f/stops off the mark.
