Two years ago, I had Leica in New Jersey install the M6 viwefinder frames in an old M2 that I bought used from a fellow in town. The M2's finder had deteriorated and was very dim, and also I wanted to be able to use a 135 mm lens without having to use the auxiliary viewfinder. Leica told me that the M4 finder (35-50-90-135) was no longeravailable and that I would have to accept the newer M6 frames. The results were great! Bright and clear, and I can focus the 135 lens without any obvious problem. An expensive update but worthwhile in my case. Andy Morang Vicksburg, MS
