Just thought of checking this out with you guys. > Thanks Hugo, the M6J viewfinder is not only not the same magnification as the M3 (0.85 v 0.91) it is not even the same design. The M2 came out with a cheaper to make lower mag finder (one of the reasons it was cheaper) which was adopted for all subsequent Ms. Making the M6J and .85 viewfinders accurate was said at the time to be very difficult. cheers Frank
