All I knew about the M6J was what I had seen in advertising. And apparently, the ads I saw didn't clearly describe the camera. Is the viewfinder magnification more like the M3 than the M4 or M6? What is different about the meter? Assuming it is a wonderful camera, why can't Leitz make more of them? I'd love to have a camera with a bigger viewfinder image that shows me the 35mm frame lines. The brightline finder is nice with the M3 but it takes up a lot of room. And the 90mm frame size on the M4 is pretty small. I can't imagine trying to use a 135 with it. Peter Jon White
