As a matter of fact I posed your same question to Kit earlier - too bad I don't remember exactly what she said. Maybe she'll respond to this e-mail. As best as I can remember, she said something about a slight color tint to the viewfinder - I 'think' it was slightly bluish when compared to the older viewfinders. Of course, my recollection could be completely wrong so take it with a grain of salt.

Is there any way to >tell which ones have the update? Serial number? The rumor was that M7s with serial numbers greater than 285xxx were upgraded. This was false. My 285xxx unit had severe problems. It was replaced with a 288xxx unit that is working fantastically. So get a unit in the 288xxx range and you should be great. I can highly recomment Kit McChesney of Acme Foto or Rich Pinto of PhotoVillage.com as sellers.e Karen - -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
