I agree with the ambiguous term "look"... my 35 Summilux pre-asph lives on my M6 most of the time. I have a 90 'skinny' Tele-elmarit that will sometimes take it's place. On occasion my Canon 50/1.4 with an LTM adapter will go on (which has an interesting 'look' of it's own); but alot of the time that Canon 50/1.4 will ride by itself on the Canon 7 or on the Tower 5L (Nicca)... Although I have been very happy with the Canon 35/2 LTM lens i recently got- haven't worked it through all it's paces yet- but it seems that I can drag the Tower with the 35/2 out in the 'bad weather' and not worry about trashing the M6!! Now all I need to do is get one of those Cosina VC meters.... :) are you listening Santa?? (My wife will not whip out her plastic for any camera purchases! She bought me a Pentax K1000 7 years ago for Xmas. I became a "reborn" photographer and now do it for a living. ) Happy Christmas and trouble free Y2K to all!
