A more interesting mutation -- at least to me anyway -- would be to put a M3 viewfinder in an M4-P. This camera would have PC sockets, a hot shoe, M4-style take-up spool and winder capability, all with a high mag finder. Of course you'd have to weigh the cost of such a conversion against the price of a .85 M6 but if a fella could canabalize a good finder from an otherwise trashed M3 the possibility sure is interesting . . .
