I have, however, used/handled other M6's that had significantly fainter frame lines and some with the problem you describe which is that parts of the frame line goes away depending where your eye is. On these cameras, I found that by moving the frame line lever slightly, I could bring the fame lines into clear, bright, view. Which leads me to believe that the frame lines merely need adjusting, internally, in order to get a clear solid view. Jim
