Subject: [Leica] M6 vs M6HM

I hope this hasn't been discussed to death already...

I intend to buy an M6 with a 35 Summilux. At some future time I will
likely get a 50mm and a 90mm. I will get the 35 rather than the 28 (The
28 would seem to me to offer better spacing of focal lengths) because I
prefer to have an f1.4 rather than f2.8 lens. Given that 28 is too close
to 35 I don't anticipate owning a 28mm lens.

Leica would have me believe that the M6HM is a better option for me than
the regular M6, and the logic makes a lot of sense to me. What do you
think?

Please reply to the list rather than email.
