Particularly when coupled with the ability to use the new flash, and an even quieter shutter and low speeds. But two points to consider: 1. I believe that the M6 viewfinder windows is also coated. Is the M7 coating different? 2. IF the M7 coating was changed to reduce reflection, then Leica has finally tacitly acknowledged that the M6 was/is DEFECTIVE. So the question then is - aren't we all entitled to have the M7 fix applied to our M6s at no charge? I'm sure we'll never see this happen, but I know that if any other consumer product had a problem that the manufacturer for years either said didn't exist or couldn't be fixed - and then in the next version of the product fixed the defect, there'd be hell to pay and lawyers lining up looking for clients. (NO - I am NOT suggesting that anyone should be lining up to sue Leica - I'm only suggesting that they should retrofit M6s.;-) ) B.

Forget all the rest of the reasons to get an M7.. in my mind, this is a real feature to be tried........ if true, this feature makes the camera "better" in its own right.....
