Viewing through and SLR, if I switch between a 35mm and 50mm lens, not 
only will the magnification look different, but in the viewfinder image, 
the near-far relationship of objects will look different. Won't this 
change in perspective be absent if I switch between lenses on an M6? 
Stated another way, in viewing through a wide angle lens in an SLR, 
background objects look like they recede more than with a telephoto lens. 
Hm, I'll have to get out both cameras and see.
