Hi Roger, ...Feli,

I have modified too the VF of my M6TTL, and it is true what you say, it is
improved, BUT no so much - and I don't know why - as the MP VF, this one is
in my opinion more clear and with more contrast than the modified VF, and I
have expend about 400 Euro, I have sand my camera to Solms.

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

I had my M6 modified about a few weeks ago by Don Goldberg (DAG). The
charges were about $170 plus postage. My full cost was $186 plus my postage
to send the camera to him, so about $210. The change to the viewfinder is
IMO significant. Prior to the modification, any horizontal motion of my eye
from center caused "silvering" of the RF patch to the extent that it was
totally useless. Now there is no "silvering" with horizontal eye movement,
there is some slight silvering with off-center eye movement in the +/-
vertical direction. The patch is dimmed, but not totally blocked. My
focusing is much easier and more accurate. A significant improvement.
