If my modest contribution to this thread can help you in any way... Well, I did it last summer. Like you, I had always wanted to have one. In june of the last year, I found a kit in a shop : at the price of a new M7 body, they were selling an M6 ttl with a 50mm summicron, both new in box. I had about exactly that amount on my bank account. I thought of it for about two days, and finally, I decided to stop thinking, and I went to buy it. Actually, I'm just a kind of amateur in photography, and still have a lot to learn. People around me tried to make me understand that it was a mistake, for many reasons. But the truth is that I don't regret it at all, and the more I have it and use it, the happier I am. I like the camera a lot, I like using it a lot, I like the photographs I took with it a lot... Now I carry it with me almost everywhere, and I shoot many kinds of pictures. From one roll to another, I improve my skills, and the results improve as well. That's just great ! So I can't be sure if it will be the same for you, but the only way to know it is to try. I only can agree with what has been said by Bill Mitchell and many others, M6 + 50mm f2 is a great combination to start with.

Thanks to everyone here on the forum, where I learnt a lot by reading all kinds of threads.

Michael translated well what the man said. Just forgot to add what he says while trying to winding the "non existent wind-on lever" : "...the thumb is getting bored..."

Maybe not that important after all. The camera looks great, anyway. I'll be waiting to see some photos made with it.

Thank you all for your answers.

Hello !

I recently bought a leica body, and a summicron 50 to go with, and now would

like to find another lenses. The problem is that for the moment I can't buy

another leica lenses...

So I would like to know what kind of lenses are compatible with my body for

lower prices, especially telephoto lenses.

Another (maybe stupid) question : is it possible to put a manual zoom lens on

it ? Just in case...

Last : I was wondering if a summicron 90 lens made in Canada in the early 90's

for 350 ﾀ is a very good deal.

Thanks a lot for answering !
