"Now I've adjusted to it and can't understand how anyone can live with the
contrast of
the Nikon 50mm."

There are many things not so easy to understand. Unbeliable prices paid for
some gear and accesories. Delays in some delivering dates (a lot of months
for getting my Summicron 28mm ASPH). 1/60   max.sync speed for flash. 1/1000
maximum speed. Bottom not very easy film loading. Not a proper flash
administration. Not a real zoom.Not a easy use of long lenses.

I understand how users of Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Minolta user can live and
they deserve my greater respect. I use my M6 and its outstanding lenses but
many other gear too and I am not sure that my best pics have been taken with
my Leica gear  If, and just if,  there are some of my photographs with some
value it have depended more of my inspiration and my ability than on my
gear. Anyway I'm trully and really happy that you love your(mine) gear.

Kind regards

Félix
