Subject: [Leica] VF Upgrade to my M6TTL

I had watched for almost a year now as new Leica users enjoyed their
improved VF in their MP camera.  I knew that Leica USA would do the upgrade,
but each time I inquired, I was told not yet.  About 3 weeks ago I sent in
my M6 for the upgrade.  What a difference... clearer, more contrasty, the VF
lines are more distinct.  The flare that had bothered me so much has not yet
been tested ( we are having overcast skies...).  I have a .85 that I tried
out next to my modified .72 to find the differences.  They are certainly
there in spades!

Overall, the money seems well spent.  Time in the shop was less than 2
weeks.
