There are actually 2 versions of the M6... the M6 and the M6TTL.
There were only 3130  M6 cameras produced with the 0.85 VF.  Referred to at 
times as HM (high Magnifications) model.
There were LOTS of M6TTL models with the 0.85 VF.

How to tell the 2 models apart?

If the shutter dial has an OFF position the camera is a M6TTL.  If no OFF 
position, the camera is a M6.

Unless someone had the M6 RF replaced......  Sometimes referred to as 
FrankenLeicas.

The M6 preceded the TTL version....

After hearing Uncle speak, I will bring out my Noctilux  f1 and shoot a roll 
of Ilford FP 400 and M6 0.85 which I hear makes focusing with it easier. Is 
it true that they made only 3,300 copies of the 0.85?
