I've used an M6J finder-equipped camera for several years and was quite eager to compare the new finder to the M6J-type. The new finder's central rangefinder patch is certainly clearer/more contrasty than the M6J-type. That's good. The 35mm framelines, however, are really at the limits of visibility in the new camera. That's bad. I don't wear glasses, but even with moving my face around it's just about impossible to see the whole 35mm frame at a glance. The M6J finder was superior in this regard. Also, the combined 50/75 framelines are a real drag IMHO.
