Considering that I mostly do travelling and family photography, that I only want 2 lenses, could you recommend a more versatile combination ? Should I purchase the M6 TTL O.85 if I'd go for the above couple of lenses ? Can anybody suggest a self-timer that one can adapt to the body ? >> Do you mean Summicron 1:2/35 ASPH, or Summilux 1:1.4/35 ASPH? For strictly travel use, I would recommend the Summicron (f2) 35 and the 90 Elmarit (f2.8) unless you *really* need the extra stop. I would definitely recommend against the 0.85 finder if you plan to use a 35mm a lot, especially if you wear glasses. The frameline is near impossible to see all at once. There are generic selftimers out there that screw into the cable release socket. Most any major photo dealer has or can order one, and they usually pop up frequently at photo flea markets.
