I've always been ambivalent about the M3 because of the 1m distance. This changes things, say what anyone will, but the finder is still superior to the .85x. Until this last week, this particular M3 hasn't been worked on since it left the factory 41 years ago. Now it won't need another CLA until one of my daughters' grandkids decides to do it.
