I have no 28mm Leica lens, only an old Isco -Westron and the 35 is my favorite focal length. (I have both a Summaron and Summicron). But another important point is: With my current M6, I can see the whole 35mm frame with my glasses on. When I switch to the 28mm frame, I have to take off my glasses to see the entire frame. Of course, I prefer taking pictures with the glasses on. I guess, (and maybe someone with an M6J or one of the first M6-0.85 can confirm) that the 0.85 rangefinder will not allow to see the whole 35mm frame, which is the outermost then, when you wear glasses. I will try this, as soon as the M6-0.85 is available in the shops. If it does not work, for people with glasses the current viewfinder might be better even when you don't use the 28mm frame. Gerd
