Not >sure which yet. :) Hi Unfortunately I am in the UK and the import taxes etc. would bump up the price considerably. I too am going to opt for the 35mm f/2 ASPH and get a 50mm f/2 to go with the 90mm f/2. Should be good for all occasions. I guess the f/4 speed of the T-E would be slow when you consider one of the major strengths of the M6 - available light photography. Even Leica UK told me to stop being silly and get the 35mm & 50mm. Not sure how many T-Es will get sold though. Simon
