Justianto If the only lenses you get for your M6 are the big mothers you are not giving the camera a shot at being what it be's best. A compact unobtrusive carry around camera. Plenty of people take their M6's everywhere. I take mine to the movies. I forget it's on my belt. But with one of the many dominant compact lenses. Lighten up! Get a 50 or 35 Summicron and find out what Leica is all about! It's about having the camera with you. It doesn't work as well sitting at home. Mark Rabiner
