My first bought was then an M6 black with a 35 Summicron . Today , I've got several M6 with 15 Heliar , 21 , 35 , 50 , 90 and recently a Tri-Elmar . This is way too much stuff for only one man . If I had to keep one body / one lens , it'd be an M6 Classic Black with the 50 Summicron Black , last version . Outstanding lens combined with a wonderfull body .
