In
fact, the 35mm frames pretty well fill my view... I was shocked by how
little of the 28mm field I could see.

I wear fairly thick eyeglasses so find the M6 28mm frame near-useless.
On the M2 the sides of the 35mm frame are very slightly outside the
field of view. With thinner high-density-glass lenses in my previous
eyeglasses, I could just see them.
