Subject: [Leica] Re: Beginner questions on M6 TTL and M6HM TTL

It is difficult to see the 35mm HM frame line, all at once, without
glasses. It would only be worse with glasses. The 35mm frame line is much
easier to see in the non-HM. The non-HM has a 28mm frame line and the HM
does not. It would be my suggestion to get the non-HM camera since it has a
28mm frame line and the 35mm frame line is completely visible, probably so
even with glasses.
