I know of one such camera but it was an M3 finder transplanted into an 
M6 retaining the metering diodes. If you do not know much about M 
finders, you will not be as impressed by this as you should. Emanual 
Lowi had the mods done but who did the work I am not sure. Perhaps he 
will chime in. It certainly was not a cheaper way to go.

I have heard nothing but positive reports about cameraleather.com 
though they were at one time swamped with orders. I don't know if there 
is a backlog right now or not.
