[Leica] M6

[Christopher Crawford]

I had a .85x M6 many years ago. It was usable with 35mm, but the framelines were hard for me to see. I preferred the standard .72x finder for 35. The .85 was wonderful for 50mm.

I had a 50mm Summicron, the version with the focusing tab, and it was the sharpest 50mm lens I have ever used.

For 35mm, I had a Zeiss ZM 35mm f2.8C Biogon. Incredible resolution and good bokeh, but very high in contrast.

    As a foray back into film photography, I just purchased an M6 TTL .85 body, and I’m thinking about lenses.  I have a Summicron-M 50, but I’m wondering what you all may have worked with.  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?
    
    BTW, at this point I only expect to shoot B&W film with it, but who knows what the future will bring.  Any recommendations on film?
