FWIW, if you decide to go w/an M2 & plan to regularly use a 35mm, you should be aware that, for some unknown reason, Leitz put a smaller rear VF eyepiece opening on the M2 than on the M3 or the M6 (can't compare it w/an M4 as I haven't looked through 1 in years)--I found it difficult to see the 35mm frame on my M2 for that reason until I had DAG enlarge the opening as part of a CLA/repair job.

Tamura" <ttamura@aloha.net> I am thinking about picking up a user camera and am really drawn to a M3 (plus I once owned one and am kicking myself ever since for selling it.) I can't remember about my experiences with the viewfinder and thus my question/concern. My concern is that I wear glasses and was wondering if I will have any problems seeing the 50mm framelines. I believe the viewfinder magnification is 0.90 (or 0.91,) so I am quite sure that I will have problems seeing the 50mm framelines, but thought I would ask in case I am overlooking something. If it is as I thought, I guess a M2, M4 or later would be better choices for a normal lens? Would love to hear from you Leica experts.
