The M6 has the same finder frames as the M4-P. I wear eyeglasses, and while the 35 frame lines are reasonably visible in the viewfinder, the 28 frame lines are not; also, the lens hood protrudes into the field of view quite a bit. For that reason, I use the 28mm accessory viewfinder that clips into the hot shoe. Look for one used -- the new ones are *not* cheap (circa $300). It's also a good idea to shim the foot of the bugger with masking tape, to ensure a snug fit in the hot shoe. Regards, Chuck Albertson Seattle
