Your might try getting a diopter so that you don't need your glasses. They are not very easy to find (Tamarkin-cf Shutterbug) and a bit pricy ($60). The M6 has slightly less magnification than the M2/M4 so that the 35mm frameline does not go clear to the edge of the finder (this is to make room for the 28mm frameline).
