I looked through all three just now, and found either of the Nikons' viewfinders brighter and better than the Leica's. Considering, too that I had a choice of 20 odd focusing screens for the Nikons, as well as 6-7 viewfinders, I found them far superior in practical usage to the Leica. You could get a viewfinder or a focusing screen for every conceivable use you wanted to put them to. All in all the Nikons were exemplary system cameras Cheers Jayanand Sent from my iPad On 15-Jul-2012, at 6:37 AM, Mark Kronquist <mak at teleport.com> wrote: > I have a stack of AR-1 Old Nikon Soft Releases-spare offer away in good to > new shape mak at teleport.com > > finders.
