The Leica M6-J fits me like a glove (maybe it's the real leather on it
??).(Snobbish !!)

Together with the 35/2 chrome (present), 50/1,4 chrome (1994) (or 50/2
chrome (1993/94) if I want to use the polfilter) and 90/2,8 tele-elmarit
(1974/90).

*The Noctilux had give me great joy but also some great disappointment,
that I never had with the other lenses but the former summilux 35/1,4 for
different reasons.

The continuation is not for you, Alistair  :-D 

My personal,present ,irrational and subjective Leica-M HIT PARADE is: (it
will change next month)

M6-J, M3 single stroke (60s) chrome & black, M4 chrome black lack & black
chrome, M6 chrome (Wetzlar) & M4P chrome.(from the"feel", "looks" and
"something" point of view only, because whe  all know that all the Leica Ms
are great picture catchers)
