Would this M6 with .58 Finder be better w/ glasses?

[dave lackey]

Here is the chrome M6 that I have heard is better if you happen to wear eyeglasses:

Leica M6 CHROME TTL (.58X FINDER/28-90MM) 35MM RANGEFINDER MANUAL FOCUS CAMERA BODY

Or would I be better off with 0.72?

thanks in advance,
😀

Yikes,
Need to know as I already have the 0.72 on hold at KEH.

Thanks in advance,

if you use 28 or 35mm lenses, yes. i like the .72 for 50mm.

Not sure how the M6 framelines compares with my M4 (0.72), but with my glasses I can barely see the 35mm framelines - if I relax and centre my eye I'm aware of the framelines all around, but if I consciously try to look at the frame, I can see one side but not both.

So, yes, for 28 and 35 I'd prefer the 0.58.

The .72 will just let you see the 35mm frame line if you wear glasses. I use the 35mm and 50mm on the camera with the .72 and I have a Konica Hexar RF that I use for the 28mm.
The one thing I have noticed is the focusing accuracy with the Konica or any .58 viewfinder. It's much better with the standard .72 finder and even better with my .85 M6.
The other option is a .72 with a diopter. I do that as well.
In the long run, the .72 seems to be the one most will want and will be easier to sell if you don't like it.
Really though, you can't go wrong either way

get the 58, if you dont like it im sure you could easily sell it, or you can get a 1.25x eye piece and slap it on there for longer lenses if you want. I wear glasses and the 72 bodies are so so for seeing the 35 lines but not great, usually always am not seeing one line
