[Leica] Leica Decision : Help

["Sarawoot Chittratanawat" <c641625@showme.missouri.edu>]

Hi
I decide to get my long dream gift, Leica M.  After doing some research, I
think I will get the brand new M6TTL and one lens first.  However, due to
novice in Leica, I'd like to ask the questions from you guys here.

1) I think I will get the M6TTL 0.72 because I read the spec and found M6TTL
0.85 requires additional viewfinder for 28mm focal length.  Since I prefer
the wide-angle rather than tele, the 0.72 will fit my need.  The best price
for M6TTL 0.72 is $1650.00 after rebate at Cameraworld.com.  Is this the
right price?  or should I get the used one instead of the body?

2) What lens should I get? First I wanted to get the normal focal length
(50mm) but then I read the archieves and found many people suggest to get
35mm instead.  I like both 50mm and 35mm.  But 35mm seems to be better for
what I want to use my future M6 for.  Again, I haven't have the final
decision yet.  Any input are welcome.  Plus, there are 4 lenses for 50mm,
50/1, 50/1.4, 50/2 and 50/2.8.  50/1 will not be my choice for sure due to
its price and I don't need that fast lens.  Are there any different in terms
of glass/mechanical different for 50/1.4, 50/2 and 50/2.8?

    I know my question might be boring to you guys.  But please help me.  I
have no where to ask.  I don't want to go for usenet and get numerous
diversified responses.
    I currently use CONTAX SLR and I'm pretty happy with it.  But I want
something that lighter, smaller.  I checked the CONTAX G-series but it's too
electronic and manual focus mode doesn't make sense to me.
    Thank you very much.
