There are no 100% finders in the Leica reflex range. They are all about 93% of the negative area which is 23mm x 35mm. This is the area of a mounted slide. I think that 100% finders are only useful if you use negative film or unmounted chome. The 93% finder is perfect for mounted chrome use. I had a Nikon F3, which also has a 100% finder, and I would have to be careful at the edges because what I saw, I would not get in a mounted chrome.
