Thus, to use a 35mm lens on an M3, the "eyes" version is required. Does the M6J have a 35mm frameline, or is an eyes version of the 35mm lens required. Maybe the M6J is a trial balloon to see if there is much general enthusiasm for that finder magnification ratio. I'm happy with optical rangerfinders, but I sure would like a zoomfinder, TTL flash and a spotmeter for my $2200. I'm not sure I want to, but is there any way an outfit like Professional Camera Repair (Marty Forscher) in NYC can remove unwanted frame lines from the M6. I'd love to lose framelines for which I don't have lenses (28mm, 75mm, 135mm). On a different note, is anyone else using the old Canon 19mm/f3.5 SM lens (with adapter) on their M Leica? If so, how does it compare to the various 21mm Angulons (f4.0, f3.5, f2.8)?
