Now wait just a doggone minute. <g> The M3 is no longer than an M6. How could the baseline be significantly longer? I don't remember seeing little mirrors sticking out the end of an M3 to give it a wider baseline. :-) Hmmmm...could that be why they can't put an M6 rangefinder in the M3? I thought it was for a different reason. Now I've got to find an M3 to compare. Okay, citation please. I've got to see the numbers on this one.
