Subject: [Leica] First lens for a new M6 user?
From: Steve Maller <steve@maller.com>

I'm going to get a brand new M6 this weekend (g*d bless my indulgent wife)
and I'm troubled over the choice of a first lens.

My first inclination is the 35/2 because I'm looking to do "street"-type
photographs and that seems to be the length of choice for this genre.

However, there are those that say the 35/1.4 is better for this
application. Right now in the US, the difference in price is about $1,100,
and it's hard to imagine that I'd be well -served, as I could get a 50/2
new for less than that.

Comments? Thanks!!!
