This is a great example of what makes for horse races - I love the
magnified view on the .85, but I want to be able to see 'air' around the
frames. So when I hold my fire sale, I'll probably hang onto my .58. ;-)

My 0.85 viewfinder on the M6 is the best of them all. That is the only 
Leica rangefinder body I have kept following my digital epiphany. And to

make it even better, it is one of the "rare" non-TTL versions of the 
M6HM. Not that I care, I have already deflowered it from a collector's 
point of view by using it extensively since buying it a couple of years
ago.
