Also like you, I'd opt for the M6 if I had to have the shots. However, the M3's much greater heft feels better in my hand, and the DR Summicron has a contrast/resolution/bokeh that I definitely prefer to the new glass. I love hi-key candid portraiture of women, and as long as I don't get too close, the DR is my favorite lens. I worked for an arts and science museum for fifteen years and it had a large and absolutely beautiful ballet studio, with subdued daylight streaming in from the upper portions of all four walls. I spent all my non-working time photographing pro ballerinas. Wish I were back there......... <sigh>. I've recently resorted to using the DR on my M6.
