Technically there's no problem whatsoever to make such a M6. There is however one thing you should know, Leica isn't going to change the size of it's M body. Why? One of the reasons the M5 wasn't succesful was because a lot Leica M lovers hated it because of it's size and difference from it's predecessors. If you want a zooming-viewfinder your M body will have to increase in size. Leica could of course go the Contax G way, make the viewfinder stick out of the back of the camera. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer the size of the M6, and I certainly don't want a bigger camera. - -- Bert Keuken "Never chant your mantra while eating lentil stew, it gets your T-shirt dirty."
