as much as I HAVE to. but I don't HAVE to buy an M6.

I spend $1500/year in gas. enough to buy a 35/2. another way
to put it is: the money a 35/2 costs, lets me go everywhere I
want, whenever I want, in the confort of my car, for a whole year...

leica stuff really is too expensive...

I have a nikkor 35/1.4, but I would never pay the dollars it costs
here, new in box ($1300). I bought it used, in great shape, mint-,
from a fellow in the USA through eBay, paying in total $500 to
have it. it's by far my most expensive lens (I've paid more for
another one I have, but that's a different story...).
