The eyes are bright enough but they introduce some distortion around the edges, some seem to have more distortion than others. On the other hand it is very convenient not having to use an auxiliary finder, also for we bespectacled folk, the 50 mm frame line in the M3 is easier to see with glasses than the 35 mm frame line in .72 finders. Forget not being noticed with all that superstructure on your camera though, the eyes beg for attention. John Shick
