I did not like the fact that the 35 frame was so far out that I had to move my head around to see it all. So I gave it back and got an M6 0.72 . I actually like the classic M6 much better. I believe, it is compositionally easier to use, when you can see what's outside of the frame. Especially for a hand held camera. I use my R7's completely differently so the less than full view GG screen is not a limitation. However... there are many on the LUG that love the M6HM. So you will have to see for yourself.
