With the M6 price reduction continuing until September, I've almost convinced myself
to get one.  I think the 35 f2 lens would be the best starter lens but haven't decided 
whether to get a new or used lens.  I read Erwin Puts test reports about the recent or
current models being significantly better than the older ones.  How old is the current
model and what serial numbers should I look for?  

Are there any major disadvantages with a used lens rather than new?  I'm inclined 
to get a new body for the assurance of the warranty and the price difference being fairly 
small at this time.  I'm more inclined to get a used lens, though, since there doesn't 
seem to be as many things that could go wrong and somewhat larger price premium for 
new.

Any opinions on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hadi
