As an eyeglasses wearer, I can tell you that the outside (40mm) frame
lines in the CL are much more easily visible than the next-to-outside
(35mm) frame lines in the 0.72 M6 (on which 28mm is outside); but my
experience has been that over time an eyeglasses wearer can get used
to the M6's 35mm frame lines (but not its 28mm lines).

Hello all-
OK, I have Leica glass, I'm not too concerned what platform I put it on,
if it (the camera body) has TTL metering. The problem I have is that I
wear eyeglasses. The widest lines in the only M6 I have handled just
weren't easily visible for me. From what I can tell from the literature,
the viewfinder will be very similar on the M5.
What are the viewfinders like on the CL and CLE? Any eyeglass wearers
using one or the other who would care to comment?
I have this horrible feeling I will wind up with an M3...
