1.  As regards use of the M-3 goggled lenses on a later camera (such as =
the M-6).  Since these had the 50 mm focusing cam, you would still have =
to use the goggles on the M-6.

2.  The question is, will the M-3 goggles fit the smaller rangefinder on =
the M-6?  I don't have a body other than the M-3 at present to see if =
the viewfinder/range finder would line up with both cameras.  Does =
anyone have the M-3 goggles and an M-6 to find out in real life if they =
do???  (I might have missed the answer to this, but...)

3.  As regards the M-6 hm, does the M-6 hm accept all of the focusing =
cams that the normal "classic" M-6 does?

4. For single body owners, has Leica created a need and market for =
goggles to use lenses that could be used on the "classic" M-6 but could =
not be used on the M-6 hm?

Obviously I need more cameras and lenses...but (; $$$
