Reread the direct comparison with the M or the lens review. The Leica M comes off sounding like a very pretty dinosaur and the 50 Summicron-M ends up missing out on something intangible (and unexplained). Oh, well, I'm sure he had good intentions, and the Hexar was a good little camera. I had one for a while, but just never used it much with the M6 + 35 Summicron calling to me. Happy shooting, Charlie
