Disadvantages over the M6: Noise level; Lower mag. x = less RF accuracy; Missed opportunities: No focus confirmation; No spot meter (would be great with the AE lock); Still unknown: Film loading system - fast advance to first frame? Rewind speed? Could Erwin please calculate and post the limits of the .6x VF for fast aperture lenses at various focal lengths? Meanwhile, sounds like a good second body to me, as a companion to an M6 (or M6TTL) .85 or an M3. Emanuel Lowi Montreal
