That Pop Photo article that is so glowing about the M6 TTL and lenses has a
nasty little sidebar (p. 74) that says the .85 M6's viewfinder frames show
only 79% percent of the on-film picture area, and that the M6 shows only
77%!  That means there will be almost a third more area on the negative than
what the vf frame is showing.  Can it possibly be that bad?  Couldn't Leica
make a viewfinder that's a little more precise than just 77%?
