<<  I am considering the purchase of a m6 body and am confused.  Is there a
new  version that is availible called an m6 .85?  What exactly does the ".85"
 refer to?  Is this version substantially more expensive than the current
 m6? Are they comming out with a regular production of the m6 with m3
 features? Thanks in advance for your help.

John, welcome----

The .85 refers to the maginfication of the viewfinder.  The magnification is
greater than the standard M6 to allow better accuracy with the 90 and 135 mm
lenses.  However there is no frame line for the 28 mm lens as a result.  It is
$100 more than the standard M6.
