And for a bit of time there were three different magnifications of eye strain and frame lines on M bodies. The long standing was .72x but then they came out with the 0.85x for longer lenses or a Noctilux. Then they came out with a .58x for wides so you’d not need a thing on your hot shoe to shoot with  a 24mm lens. 
They all went during that time when Leica as being talked of in the past tense. Alongside with Apple. And Vespa.  And American cars. 
But we bounced back didn’t we?

    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?
