Hi David

Having upgraded to the M6TTL 0.85 to replace my M4P, I still use my 35mm 
and 50mm with it. I have to say, I have no problems at all in seeing the 
35mm framelines (I do not wear glasses). In fact the added magnification 
has noticeably improved my focusing/framing as I view my subject(s) with 
both eyes open. Before, with the M4P (0.72), viewing with both eyes often 
sent me "cross-eyed", forcing me to close one eye. I'll even go as far as 
to say that viewing outside those framelines is relatively easy (ie) -- if 
one was to use a 28mm.

"Wrote"

Anyone using a 35mm lens with the .85 M6 body?  Would like to know your
experience with the framelines that are all the way to the edges?  Do
you have problems with composition or framing? Thanks David
