Hi everyone,

I have had my MP a la carte since 2007. I ordered it without 75mm framelines, so I could have a completely unobstructed viewfinder when shooting on a 50mm, my 50 Lux is on the camera almost 95% of the time. Today, I regret that I did not order it with the 0.85x viewfinder.

In the past few years, I have become increasingly fond of short tele lenses when shooting medium format (approx 75mm equivalents), and I want to get an M body to accommodate a 75mm lens, and sometimes a 90. I rarely shoot wider than a 50, so I would really love a 0.85x viewfinder.

Does anyone have suggestions what body I should be looking at?

It seems to me that a 0.85x M6 would be the best option, or perhaps a 0.85x MP, if I can find one, but I would love to hear any other suggestions?
I am assuming that: it would be impossible to get the viewfinder on any a 0.72x body upgraded to 0.85x today; it would be impossible to add 75mm framelines to my M3?

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
 
The magnification loupe 1,25x works quite well for me. I don´t use it very often, but with a 75 or 90mm lens the vf frames look much more usable. So any .72 finder could do.
