I now drive a Jaguar and believe me it's far less leaky than my brother's Triumph. Maybe that's because Jaguar is now owned by Ford...? To bring this back on topic, I've now had my M6 and 35 Summicron for two months and it's a joy to own and use. I was always able to see the difference between prints shot on medium format and 35mm gear, even at small enlargements, but the prints from the Leica are closer to the MF ones than 35mm in sharpness. I'm now familiar enough with the meter to risk a slide film, so I'm shooting Velvia in it at the moment, and I'm looking forward to seeing those projected. The M6 is a lot more sturdily built than the CL I was using before and has a much better feel to it. Anyone want to swap a CL body for a nice user 90mm Summicron? :-) Simon. > Ionica, Cowley Road, Cambridge CB4 4AS Tel (01223) 223000 Fax (01223) 223100
