Exactly my feeling about the TTL 0,85, plus the fact that
the frames offer less contrast than with the TTL 0,72, which
annoy me.

I have no so much experience with the M6 0,85 (classic), but
all the frames of the M6J viewfinder (the very first 0,85)
are so much better than in the M6 TTL 0,85.

You have to see it to believe it, but Leica is on safe
ground here...

;-)

If there was a "Best 50mm frames" in Leica M contest, I
don't think the M6TTL 0,85 will be in the top 3.

What's your vote ?
