Hi César,

I second Henning (I think it was him) who recommended that you might take a look at
the Voigtlander/Cosina lenses if you are on a budget. You will get a much better
lens than some ancient Summaron, in which you will also have to invest good money
to have it cleaned. I have a 35/2.5 VC which I like very much for when I know that
I will not need the speed of my Summilux. There is also the 35/1.7. I don't know
where in Portugal you are, but it doesn't matter--you can order those lenses from
any of the reputable dealers in Germany and have a better lens for your M6 than the
Summaron, probably for a smaller outlay.
