My 0.85 viewfinder on the M6 is the best of them all. That is the only 
Leica rangefinder body I have kept following my digital epiphany. And to 
make it even better, it is one of the "rare" non-TTL versions of the 
M6HM. Not that I care, I have already deflowered it from a collector's 
point of view by using it extensively since buying it a couple of years ago.
