I've just joined the list and want to ask the simplest of questions. This is related to my newly refinding my love for photography develpoed by borrowing an M6. This has led me to sell my Canon EOS fully auto camera and concentrate on buying a new M6 with the possibility of 4 lenses with it. Can someone explain why one would need the new x0.85 magnification factor, are there any benefits, and will i get no framing lines for a 35mm lens or smaller? Secondly, which lenses should I go for? I can currently afford to go for 3 lenses + body and this will expand over time. The Choice it to go for 35mm f1.4 summilux, 50mm f1.4 summilux and f2 90mm summicron. Whats the differences between Summilux, summicron, and noctilux. If i budgeted to by the f1 octilux 50mm as my prime, would it work happily in its position as the prime lens? Thanks all in advance Tarik
