With a finder magnification of 0.6 (same as the Leica CL) unless this camera 
has an initial baselength of at least 83mm or some newfangled form of 
electronic focusing device, users of the fast or longer lenses aren't going 
to be overwhelmingly won over from the M6.  Judging by the lengths and speeds 
of the Japanese lenses so far, this camera seems more like the Contax G (with 
its focus limitations) than the M6.
