Subject: Re: [Leica] M6 Wide Angle Body

I think  because, for me, the 50mm woukld be so small that it would be
worthless. the whole point of a w/a body would be to allow the use of the
excellent 21/24/28/35 (would any finder that included the 21 make the 35
unusable?) without external finders. the 50 is already well catered for with
tthe current two m6s.
