Pop Photo's January issue has a very favorable review of the M6 .85 TTL (including shutter speed accuracy tested to be within 1/10th of a stop across the range!!!). There are tests of the 21 ASPH, 35/1.4 ASPH and 90 ASPH. Each is concluded to be the best available in its class, albeit (repeatedly) at high cost. Interestingly, the new Canon 35/1.4 was just reviewed by the same magazine, "beating" the L35/1.4 ASPH at the three largest apertures according to Pop Photo's "SQF" numbers. David W. Almy Annapolis
