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

The HM version of the M6TTL does not have 28mm framelines in the 
viewfinder. The 35mm framelines end up in about the same place, very 
close to the edges of the viewfinder. I wear glasses and found that to be 
too uncomfortable for my vision. The M6TTL .72x model has excellent eye 
relief for 35 to 90mm frames. The 135 is there but a bit small, the 28 is 
there but a bit hard to see. 

I would buy an HM body if I were planning on using mostly 50-135mm 
lenses. Since I prefer the 35 and 90mm lenses, I took the .72x body. With 
anything wider than 35mm, I find an auxiliary viewfinder is more 
comfortable to use.
