I chose to buy the Summicron-M 35/2 ASPH when I bought my M6TTL and it was definitely the right choice for me. Incredibly sharp, not too hellishly expensive, and a nice size and weight. Fast enough for my needs. That left enough money in the budget to afford the Elmarit-M 90/2.8, which is also a delightful lens: nice size and weight, very very sharp, easy to use. And I have a Heliar 15 to complete the kit. I hope you discover what does the trick properly for you!
