Roger:

I think the last reply went to LUG heaven, but probably got posted.  Sorry.
What I wanted to say was that I use the M6 on travel, but my wife has had
extensive eye surgery and can't use it very well.  She can see with a SLR
and that is why I wanted the 35-70 lens.  I also will get macro and longer
lenses in the future.  Just finished buy several lenses for the m6 and am
out of money!!!  Thanks for the reply.  Dick
