The viewfinder is, for me, a very big part of the equation. As mentioned, I have the M3 - I purchased it to replace a Leica IIIg. Perhaps I could buy a more modern M but from what I have read, I don't think the viewfinders would work very well for me. If you have a suggestion or two, based upon the price differential, of SLR cameras that have viewfinders you believe I could use comfortably, I would very much appreciate knowing your thoughts.
