Very sharp and your shooting style seems to benefit from a short portrait telephoto lens. I just shot a roll of 12 exposure color negative film to test my re-built (re-cemented lenses etc.) 1.5/50mm Sonnar on the Contax IIIa. If I like the lens, I might adapt it to the M6 otherwise get the current Zeiss/Cosina version 1.5/50 Sonnar. I also have a CZ (postwar) 4/135mm Sonnar which I use on the Contax with the revolving 440 finder. It should actually be easier to use on the M6 with Amedeo's adapter given the 135mm frame lines (if they kick in with the adapter!). I expect the 135mm Sonnar to be sharper than my old 4/135mm Elmar.

All these are shot with the Sonnar 50/1.5 on my M3 and Plus X ... All this serie was shot with the M8 and the Sonnar 50/1.5 ...<http://lluisripollphotography.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/street-musiciens/> These ones are with the Sonnar Jena 85/2 on the M8 ... <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Zurich/L1001206bw.jpg.html> Both lenses are superb!
