The horizontal spacing between windows is evidently unchanged. The 2mm height addition will of course raise the 21/24/28 viewfinders by that amount; hardly likely to affect parallax at all. The only fairly common accessory which I know of at this time will *not* fit the TTL body is the 4x (90 degree prism) finder for the Visoflex *II*, which barely clears the classic M6's top plate by a gnat's whisker. The Viso III prism finder will work fine (including it will fit a Viso II) because it was designed to fit an M5; however it is much larger than the Viso II prism and does not have the adjustable dioptre. The vertical chimney finder will fit, of course. In fact, I am seriously considering an M6TTL *purely* because of being able to mount a remote TTL cord in the hot shoe (which would not fit even with a Viso III prism) along with the chimney finder, in order to use TTL macro flash.
