For example when the M4-P was introduced 28 and 75 windows were retrofittable into older cameras for less than $100. If the brightline design is substantially improved, e.g. mid-frame lines for the 75 and 135 lenses and corners for the other formats, it would be a welcome improvement Tom >Tom, >I called about having the M6J viewfinded fitted to the M6 and Leitz, NJ tol= d >me they couldn't/wouldn't do it.
