Hi all. I have Leica M10 and SL typ 601. Wanted to start shooting some film and was looking forward to M6. I have these lenses: voigtlander 35 ultron, Leica sunmicron 50 and voigtlander 21 (which I think I can’t use on M6).

can you suggest the better viewfinder magnification for my setup and which model of M6 suits better my needs?

many thanks

The x0.72 is fine, best place to start for 35 and 50; other magnifications are rare and expensive, and not typically necessary.

Get an optical viewfinder for the hot-shoe to see the 21mm field of view.

I agree the .72 is the way to go, you need an accessory viewfinder for the 21mm anyway, and the 35mm and 50mm frames will be nice and big. I think the .58 is only a valid idea if you have a 28mm permanently on the camera, and for other lenses it makes the scene look a long, long way away.
