If they are the lenses you'll be using, consider an M2: It has frame-
lines for just those focal lengths and only shows one FL at a time,
resulting in a very nice, uncluttered view.  The M4 adds a 135 FL which
is shown at the same time as the 35mm frame, distracting IMO, esp. 
considering that a 135 on an M4 is not the best combination.

M.
