[Leica] M6

[Nathan]

While it is true that the 0.85 versions of the M6 and M7 were created to facilitate accurate focus with the longer lenses, they work fine with 35mm as well--you still benefit from better focusing, although some people complain that they have a hard time seeing the entire frame (same complaint as one hears about 28mm lenses on the normal 0.72 M6). For me, it worked fine.

I guess with your 35mm and 50mm, if you also add a 90mm, then you will have a classic Leica outfit.

Cheers,
Nathan

I’m told that the body is designed to work best with 50mm and longer, but what kind of results can I expect with my 35 Summilux FLE (about the only lens I use with my M10)?  Any experience with Voigtländer or Zeiss?
