Why do you want to buy a Screwmount-lens for your M6? The answers given to
you were of course M-mount lenses... and even Stephen Gandy says things
like "Outstanding performance,  very popular, long lived lens" about
the Tele-Elmar 4/135. I own one of these, and can't add anything to this
statement... it is an outstanding, razor sharp and contrasty lens.
