Hi Mikiro,

I'm glad that an "Alsacien" is the first one to comment my post.

Yes. It's a little bit less than the 50 mm frame. But let's say
it's easier with the M6 :-). Maybe sometime I will get an HM
(never tried one) or have my M5 modified.

Well I have a Delta 3200 in my fridge. I will try it someday. But
what I like in this lens is that it is very near from a 50 mm and
has the last Summicron quality. It replaces my old 50 DR when I
don't need the close focus and when I have the space to go back
from the subject. As I did not want to get rid from the DR and
did want to buy two 50 mm, I thought the 75 was a good
compromise.

All the best.
