He insists that it isn't convenient at all to use the 35 on the M6HM even though I don't wear glasses. He was adamant that I actually check out the HM before buying one. I still don't like the cluttered viewfinder of the standard .72 M6 despite the fact that I could get one in my preferred finish - chrome. I suggest you try to actually see these two cameras side by side before making a decision.
