Subject: [Leica] Re: help needed on viewfinders

A very good and less expensive solution would be to get a nice Leica BL 
35mm finder. It gives a life size image and the framelines can be seen with 
glasses on.

Another solution would be to purchase a an older 35mm with eyes that was 
designed to the M3.
