You have the tools at your disposal, and there's a very simple method of getting to the "right" answer. Unlike an SLR, with your M6 you have the frames for both 28mm and 35mm right in your camera. When you're out taking pictures with your 50mm or 90mm, all you have to do is move the frame selector lever to the 28mm or 35mm position to see what you would get with either lens. If you frequently see an image that you would like with one frame or the other, you'll know which lens to get. It couldn't possibly matter what anybody else thinks is the perfect addition to your system. Nobody else has your eyes, your brain, your sense of style, proportion, composition, etc. Pay no attention to what anyone else thinks you should get. Just flip that lever and see for yourself. ;-) Peter Jon White Peter White Cycles 666 Mass Ave Acton, MA 01720 978 635 0969 Voice 978 929 9654 Fax http://www.PeterWhiteCycles.com mailto:Peter@PeterWhiteCycles.com > > Hi everybody! > > I'm new to the group and just wanted to get some opinions on > which wide-angle > lens to get.
