       I have had great success using a 35, 50, and 90 in combination with
the Bellows(I) and M-mount adapter on my M6.  Since you are using only the
center of these lenses there is little need to worry about a curved field
or vignetting (in my experience, anyway).  Also, the metering in the M6
saves the math.
