My first choice would be an M6 with a frame line for the 28, 50, & 90mm lenses. It was explainded to my by another poster that that would be impossible. My second choice would be an M6 with frames for a 35, 50 & 90mm lens. It appears that this would be possible, no with the 0.85 viewfinder, which would require blackening out only the 135 frame. It would be nice if Leica offered us options for the frames we wanted in an effort to match the viewfinders to our lens choices. Most M users settle on the lenses they want to live with. Tom
