I went as a personal "project". I took an M6 with a 35mm Summicron, and M3 with a 90mm Summicron, and a 50 in my pocket. It was indoors and fairly crowded so I thought the 35mm would get the most use. I ended up shooting 1 roll of TMY with each body. Every image I have printed so far was taken with the 90. I like them so much better. I either have not yet learned to be a wide angle person (in 40+ years of photography) or I am afraid to get "too close". I like the look I get with the 75 and 90 mm lenses. I have since replaced the M3 with an M6HM. I love it for 50mm and longer.
