When I compare it with my M6TTL 0,72, I found the frame lines narrower, dimmer, yellowish and lacking the bottom line of the 50mm frames (because of the 3 diodes). I've checked also with 2 other TTL 0,85 in shops and it was not better. Even with the 90mm frames, it is not as good than with the 0,72. All the frames are less contrastier and sometimes (90mm) it's difficult to see both the lines on the left and right side at the same time. Maybe it's only my perception ? Try it yourself, if possible. In the future, if I have the choice again, I'll choose the TTL 0,72. Lucien P.S.The best (0,85) frames are by far, specially with a 50mm, those of the M6J, IMHO. - -------------------- Steve Tom wrote: > > I'm new to this e-mail group and I have a couple of basic questions about > the M6 TTL which I'll be buying sometime within the next two weeks (I > currently own an M4-P). > Question #1: Can't figure out whether I should get the .72 or .85 viewfinder.
