I?ve had both, a M6TTL .85x sold logntime ago, a MP 0.85x sold in 2014 and 
right now another MP 0,72x, I have to say that I prefer the 0,72x because it 
is better for use with the 28mm too, if you want a bigger focusing path 
purchase the magnifier 1.25x or 1.40x, however IMHO no one is better than 
the fantastic old M3 viewfinder for the 50mm.
