have to get myself to a shop that has a supply of used Leica equipment so I
can check these out firsthand and maybe find a bargain. The M3 is the

I have found it so. The M4 is almost as good, with its flare-free
finder, but with .72 rather than .91 finder magnification. I would consider
it ideal for use with a 35 under conditions which cause flare in the M6
finder. BTW, either body excels with focussing of the 75/1.4, particularly
the M3.
The 90 bright line finder (SGVOO) has an outer frameline that matches the
75mm field very well. The alternative would be any good quality 85mm finder.
