I had decided on the M series some time ago, and in the last 3 years, totally weaned myself away from the "others".. ( yes, I still shoot Hasselblad and a Technikardan 45 for artsy stuff....). I am happy with my M6 setup... a M6TTL .72 body, 15/5.6 Heliar, 35/1.4 ASPH, and 75/1.4 for travel, and a 90/2.8 thin TeleElmar for those really light, outdoor days, and a backup CL body, just in case..... I got a chance at a M6TTL .85 recently......I received it today, after looking forward to it this past week or so.... I have not been so happy about a new piece of photo equipment in a long time..... I had a spare GMP-Grip that I had picked up for this occasion, a while back: the 75 was a waiting......I even had a roll of film ready to go.... Don't ask me why, but I really enjoy this particular body, and especially its possibilities for the 75. Wish me luck, it is going to be a lot of fun....... Hope the .72 does not get too jealous......of course, the 35 is bolted onto that body, so it should hardly get lonely!
