Re: [Leica] M6 .85 S/N

I have never liked the M6 28 mm frames, they are in fact showing ~30 mm, and
your eye will have to peer about to see the edges. The image is also very
flat, and you see nothing of the wide angle perspective.
The thing to do is to get the 28 mm external finder, I have always used it
on my M6:s for the 28 mm lens.
No big deal.
