After all, till last January, when the HM appeard out of the blue, M6 afficionados had been spreading the word that the M6 was perfectly OK with any lens in the line. I remember numerous threads on the subject, and I bought my M6 + 90mm f2.8 feeling quite secure. Oh, and it works: M6 + 90mmf2.8 works very well even wide open and even at close distances. In order to maintain an acceptable level of (in)sanity, I have nevertheless refused to look into an HM viewfinder up to now... Alan Brussels-Belgium.
