Chances in some foreseeable future I'll pick a wide angle to broaden up my RF coverage and 28mm is a natural WA for me, but then I'll indeed will consider a dedictaed 28mm finder (CV's)... BTW, 35mm frames look indeed the most natural in M6 (and I guess in most other Leica bodies) - wide yet easily discernable - just enough to occupy most of the readily visiable 0.72 finder space, and this is probably the important aspect of this focal length to gain such populatiry among Leica M shooters, but I feel it's too close with my 50mm in coveragewhile 28mm seems to eb spaced wide enough for me.
