I think you're choice of lenses = would be a good working kit. But if you're buying new.... you're = already over budget. = The 135 viewfinder is indeed small in the M-6 and the 90 viewfinder = isn't all that great either in my opinion. I would concentrate your M = kit on wide angles and buy R for anything telephoto. If you tend to = shoot mostly wide angles buy M-first or R for mostly telephoto work. = If I had to choose between only M or R, I would buy R.
