Except for the closest focusing distances, the viewfinder outlines show considerably more than what the lens actually covers in the M6. Thus it is possible that if you are using the 24mm lens, the 28mm viewfinder markings 'may' just provide the proper view. This is only a guess, and could be verified one way or the other by LUGers who actually have the lens. Dan C.
