M4, M5, M4-2 and M2 cameras above 1 05x xxx or so have the latest style of finder which can be inexpensively updated to all six frames by changing the frame mask assembly. Some earlier M2 cameras can also be updated if the finder was replaced before. It costs about $150US for the work though that is a dimly remembered figure. The rest is up to you as whether you want a built in meter, hot shoe, self-timer, etc...
