I picked up the 35 way back in the seventies when I needed it for my M3. A few years ago Solms put a viewfinder with the 35 framelines in my M3 so it hasn't been used all that much. I have a little pudging middle-age belt around my waist now. The 35 finder has sharp edges and digs into the fat :-) Interesting about the M6. I feel pretty happy with my various bodies now though. I'm more interested in upgrading some of my lenses. I bought most of them new in the seventies. Daniel
