Erwin,

As you of course know, it is easier to estimate the 24mm frame with a
Classic M6 rather than an HM. If I were taking photographs where exact
boundaries were required, I would indeed get an aux finder. Likewise if I
were using an HM. But I'm not. For for my general hand held walkaround
photography, landscape, cityscape, peoplescape stuff, it's not too
difficult without the aux finder. Especially if one has a history with 28mm
and 24mm lenses over 25 years.

But should my M6/24mm photographic MO change, I would indeed get an aux finder.
