I love my M6 with 35mm ASPH Summicron. However, I have to admit, when I'm not splitting hairs over the optics my F100, the 45mm f2.8 AI-P lens and a SB-80dx strobe in the wings is, for me, a better travel rig than my M6. Much more versatility. I love the F100 ergonomics. My M6 is a .72x finder and my glasses, that finder and the 35mm frame lines don't play very nice together. OTOH, the F100 has a great finder. It also tolerates my 28mm f2.8 AIS and 105mm f2.5 AIS lenses quite well. It's a great manual focus camera. Anyway this is way too far off topic. However, if you are interested in Nikkors and have an opportunity to try the 45mm f2.8 AI-P , I'd be curious what you think. IMO it sure beats the other Nikkor 50s in the photographic quality department (speed aside of course). Regards, Roger /leica35@yahoo.com http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/Leica35
