My initial impressions are very positive. The shape, size and weight are comparable to M6. The viewfinder is indeed smaller than in M6 but quite clear. It is sensitive to eye position, though. If your eye is not well centered vertically, the vertical alignment of the rangefinder appears to be off, much. Shutter is also very quiet, the motorwind less so but quite good. The price here is about 11.000 FIM - with body, 50mm lens and flash. Leica M6 list price, body only, is about 18.000 FIM so I can imagine that many people will be intrested in the Hexar. All the best!
