I bought an M6 TTL with a 50mm Summicron at an auction about four years ago, and decided that I didn't like the way in which the lens and hood obscured about 1/4 of the viewfinder. So I traded the body to a LUGer for a Telyt-R 4.8/350 and traded-in the Summicron towards a 2.8/100 APO-Macro. All in all, a good trade. At any rate I don't remember which framelines the M6 had, and didn't realize that one wouldn't see enough field of view for that wide lens.
