If you have been on this list for very long you will know the complaints about flaring (white-out) of the M6 viewfinder. No one to my knowledge has made that complaint about the M2 viewfinder. I have just received back from Leica my M6 with the upgraded view/rangefinder and it is not an inexpensive modification.
