Question #1: Can't figure out whether I should get the .72 or .85 viewfinder. I know, it all depends on what lenses I'll be using. I currently have 15mm, 35mm and 90mm lenses and hope to add a 21mm and 50mm soon. I don't think that I'll ever get a 28mm. So my question is... Besides not having frame lines for the 28mm lens, is the extra magnification that much of an advantage with the .85? I already have to put my eye pretty close to the viewfinder to see the 35mm frame lines on my M4-P, which has a .72 viewfinder, and the 28mm is tough for me to see because I really have to push the viewfinder against my face to see them. Will I have the same problem with the 35mm frame lines on the .85? Question #2: This may seem silly but are all of the new M6's made in Germany or are some made in Portugal? Don't want to be a snob, but it seems that my Canadian M4-P is not worth as much as the German built cameras and I'd rather get a German M6 if I have the choice. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Steve
