The F5's finder shows 100% of what the negative will see.  The M6 (and almost 
every other camera -- exceptions are R8, F3, F4, F1n, EOS-1, RTS-III and the 
like) shows a little more on the neg than in the viewfinder.  The latter can 
be see as an advantage if you're shooting slides and having them mounted, BTW.
