I just thought that Leica had come out with a cheap normal lens like they did a long time ago for the R system. Since the 50 Summicron costs less than half what the Summilux costs, you would think that some cost cutting went on with the lens but maybe I just ran across an exception. As for the M6HM... I'm a long-time M3 user so I prefer the HM over the regular M6. I'm waiting to see if they'll come out with a chrome version of it. I didn't like the older M6 because of the viewfinder clutter and because I use the 90 a lot. The biggest driving force to obtain an M6 is to be able to upgrade to a new 35. The RF-Summicron I have is great but I lust after something new in this focal length. What I REALLY lust after is the rumored 90 mm APO Summicron :-) Bud Charles Dunlap wrote: > [Snip] > > How, exactly, did it feel wrong?
