Subject: Bluish viewfinder in a Leica M3

I recently tried a Leica M3 in nice condition, and being used to the M4-P, I
very much liked its finder for using 50 and 90mm lenses. I know that it
doesn't have bright lines for 35mm and wider lenses, but that's not a
problem for me. I noticed, however, that the finder gives a rather bluish
image, with not so great contrast, when compared with my M4-P. On the other
hand, the rangefinder seems fine (the secondary image is not faint). Any
comments on this? Does this camera have a problem with the finder or M3
finders give this kind of image?

Regards,

       - Juan
