My favorite lens for medium format is 180f2.8 next is 110f2. So, I selected the 90/2 APO as one of my lenses. Next, I needed a wide/normal lens. That was 35mmf2. Based on the above lens selection the camera was the M6 .85 TTL. If I wish to go wider, I can always pick up the .58 M6.

Since focusing a 90/2 wide open is nearly as tough as a 75/1.4 wide open, I'll take the extra f-stop of the 75 Summilux, together with what seem like more reasonable framelines and a more entertaining focal length, to my way of thinking. (I put as many qualifiers in that last sentence as I think it can take.)
