Ken, with a 35mm lens, the horizontal width of the field of view is about the same as the distance from camera to subject. So in Feli's picture, assuming the man is 6 ft tall or so, the camera to subject distance would have been around 10-12 feet. However, I'm not going to argue with Feli, since I wasn't there! Also, with the 90mm lens, I've always found the framelines in the M6 to be kind of cramped. Try a 90 on an M3 and it's a whole different experience, IMO. Even the 135 works OK on the M3.
