Now, Leica has swept away my doubts by introducing the M6-0.58. Quality issues apart, is there any sound reason now to buy the M6-0.58 instead of the Hexar? Perhaps, the new camera body with 0.58x finder will prepare us in accepting a rebadged Hexar as the mythical "M7E"(M6 outer shell, 0.58x finder, Hexar electronics and shutter curtain with TTL flash added). regards, Andrew Jordan John Collier wrote: > I have always thought that having to use glasses with a camera must be very > frustrating.
