I use the Heliar 15 and will likely buy the Color-Heliar 75 to use on my 
Leica M6, Peter. The Voigtlander 25 and 50 are also attractive to me, 
because these focal lengths I don't use very often and the Leica options 
are very expensive, I doubt I'd use them enough to be worth all the 
money. One of the reasons you see few people using other than Leica 
lenses on M is that there have been very few choices.

I chose the Leica M6TTL because it is the camera I wanted, not because I 
had to have it to use the lenses. I like the loading and the features it 
has, and of course I love the lenses. There's very little else I feel I 
need in a camera body, and I really don't want anything else. 

You make it sound as if you've been forced to buy one.
