It is perhaps a rather grotesque overstatement to set this out so firmly.
Whether or not an individual photographer finds the 135mm frame line in the
M6 useable is, well, a very individual affair.  I certainly have no problem
with it, nor, judging from our intermittent commentaries on this on the
LUG, do a lot of others.  Still, there are some, Mr Jordan apparently among
them, who find this frame line unuseable.
