[Leica] Question about a M6 Finder

[tgif at mbi.nifty.com (Tom Kumagai)]

Wade,

You seem to have some interesting camera. Is there any way you can 
taking the photo of internal viewfinder image and share with us?
I won't be able to help you because I think I am as good as you are, but 
I am sure someone else would.

Tom
