If you want an electronic, gadgetized rangefinder, buy a Contax G2.  I 
don't think that I am alone in stating that I like the M6 precisely 
because it is so simple and uncluttered.  In terms of convenience 
(built-in TTL meter) and function, the M6/M6HM duo seems to be the best a 
mechanical rangefinder is likely to get as a niche product.  Why spoil it 
by trying to make it something it isn't?
