I've tested how fast can I be to focus the M6 (my is 0,72x) with i.e. a 90mm and how difference of precission could be done with and without magnifier. Honestly I saw any difference, maybe a very slight one, but not important. I'm a glass wearer, and normally I need my glasses to adjust the f-stop or the speed. On this cases I think it is a disavantage, put on and out your glasses constantly. Maybe would be fine for me the HK 0,85x, I'm not a strong user of the 28mm, I use it on my Tri-Elmar, normaly on my M6 and if I use it on other bodies with a VF 0,85x I use an external vf, sometimes I use on my M's the old Hektor 2,8cm/f6,3 too. In my case maybe would be justified a HK 0,85x if I have a 28mm to use regularly on my 0,85x MP, this is cheaper to buy another MP body 0,72x, but I'm not absolutely sure if it should be really usable, and on any case I imagine it is not fast to use, if every time I change the lens I should put on/out the 0,85x is not practicall, I prefer have constantly my external 28mm vf on the camera. The main reason is that I can't imagine work always with the camera with the 0,85x installed, IMO this should be bad when you use either of a 28mm lens. Saludos cordiales Luis
