Luggites,
As you know the M6J camera was introduced to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of the M3. Other than the price, it seemed everyone liked it.
Leica introduced a couple of years later, the M6 w/ a.85 viewfinder.
Internally, they are basically identical.
So, if you want "today's" M6J get a .85 M6, .85 M6TTL, or a .85 M7 (when
available).
When, M3s came in for viewfinder replacement, M6J finders were used,
simply because the supply of original M3 type finders ran out. If there are
no more M6J finders, than they have been replaced the current .85 piece.
Leica Germany did recently consider making a meterless M camera and
rejected it.
