<Back to the M6. Yesterday I picked up some prints I had dropped off a
<few days ago. Two rolls from my daughters T2, not a bad camera for a ten
<year old. :-) I've tried to teach her the use of a manual camera but she
<isn't ready yet. Her composition is good though. Two rolls were from my
<F5 with 17-35 F2.8, and lastly one roll from the M6 with the 35
<Summicron ASPH. I started out with the T2 prints, then the F5, and
<finally the M6. The T2 prints were good, the F5 prints were excellent,
<and the M6 prints were....I'm at a loss of words. Is this the "glow"
<everyone talks about? I'm amazed! The prints just popped out at you.
<I've never seen anything like it. The first time using the camera and I
<get results like this? OK, so the first thing through my mind is weather
<my mind is justifying the cost. So I ask the president of the household
<to pass judgment. What does she pick? The M6 prints. "These are
<beautiful". Still at a loss of words I guess I'll have to shoot more
<film. :-)

I have followed your  same path.. I like the my excelent F5 and his pro
zooms, I like too  my Contax G2 anh his nice primes, including excelent
Hologon, but Leica is just different... More and more I take my M6 and his
lenses. Concerning digital it is both, a pro tool and the nicest toy to play
with. I'm now in love with a Canon D30 and next monday I'm invited to the
new pro Canon digital presentation.

Kind regards

Félix
