I'm in <a happy quandary: I have enough money to buy an M6 and one or two <new lenses. Now, here's where you come in. Which len(ses) should <I purchase? I enjoy making portraits, including impromptu street <shots. That makes the 90mm a leading candidate, I suppose. I use the (new) 2.8/90 (superb) and the 2.0/35 Summicron (very good). The former is really good for portraits and the latter is extremely compact and perfect for snapshots. I bought two extra rear-caps for the lenses and glued the caps together at the rear side. This way you can change lenses amazigly fast, especially because the compact M-lenses fit nicely into any average pocket of your trouser. A very convenient travel equipment. Joerg
