After almost 2 months with my M6TTL w/ 50 f2 Summicron, I'm glad to say that I made the right choice. I've seen a big difference with the pictures I took and the way I take pictures. The pictures are really sharp!!! I also take the camera with me more often. I know I still have to practice more to get better results and I'm looking forward to that. Also; I want to thank everyone who participates in this forum. This forum helped me decide to get the M6 and also made me learn more about Leica Photography.

thanks again....

Hi Michael. I am just like you! Two months ago I got an M6TTL 0.58 and a 50mm Summicron. Never happier! I haven't fired a single exposure with my SLR since (seriously thinking of ditching it BTW). I have been shooting Delta 400 exclusively (in XTOL at 1:1), except I just shot a roll of Provia after reading some of Erwin Puts' praise for the Summincron (I want to see those slide projected to about 4 feet by 6 feet). The Delta 400 is beautifully matched to the M and my shooting style. Daylight to Nightlife, that 'cron & Delta 400 are ready. Man, I just need to find the light! I am amazed at what I can get at 1/30 second and f2, even 1/15 and 1/8 sometimes.

I am going to have some fun soon and bolt the M to a big old tripod I have and shoot some Tech Pan (the ultimate in fine grain). I'll rack my enlarger all the way up with my 40mm EL-Nikkor to see what that 'cron can do. (I expect to be impressed).

I also agree totally about Lusenet/Leica. Great people here. Only problems is, there needs to be more activity. I have yet to tire from This Lens vs. That Lens comparos. Doubt that I ever will when it comes to Leica.

Anyway, have fun, shoot often, and don't settle for second best.

Dan
