Hi Karen,
You know, I had a p&s (Olympus Epic), but I'm a 50mm lens type. So I
dumped it for a screw mount and a 50/3.5, which will fit in a jean's front
pocket; a little heavier, but not too bad. No batteries and there's no
delay for the autofocus. I just don't visualize with the 35mm lens, and
there's no p&s with a non-zoom 50mm lens.
Why not just take the M6 with the 50mm lens?
Cheers,
Rich Lahrson
