I fortunately have a regular M6 as well but did not have the 28mm lens or the latest generation 90mm Elmarit which is reportedly a fantastic lens. I was away this past weekend and have not had the chance to use it yet. I won't have time until the weekend in all probabability. BTW, I did buy the M6 .85 as a second body to be used with the 50mm Summicron and 90mm Elmarit with the regular M6 carrying the 28 mm Elmarit and 35mm Summicron lenses.
