Francis,

I too wear glasses, and would like to use a 35 lens on an M6. I recently
tried an M6 TTL HM at a local dealer's, and with the 35 lens mounted, the
framelines were impossible to see without moving the viewfinder around ...
so I ordered an M6 TTL 0.72x instead. Based on my past experiences with a
standard M6, I don't see a tremendous disadvantage in using the 0.72x body
with a 90mm lens. 

Regards,

Joel O'Rourke

Folks,

Would I be able to use 28mm and 35mm lens on M6HM TTL (.85x) (I am
wearing glasses)?

Is M6 TTL a better camera to get for versatility (I am wearing glasses)?

I am mostly using 50mm lens and 90mm lens, however I would like to use
28mm lens and 35mm lens sometimes.

What is the advantage of getting M6 TTL and M6HM TTL?

Anyone with glasses and M6 TTL/M6HM TTL can share their experience ?
