My first M7 (285xxx) had the old finder, which did flare. My next M7 (288xxx) is brilliantly clear and has never exhibited flare. I daresay that it's even better than my M3 finder, but I'm ready to get pelted with rotten vegetables now. Karen p.s. Part of that is because the M3 finder has a blue tinge, which is supposed to improve focusing accuracy with the gold tinged focusing area. But it has the effect of lowering brightness a tad. -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
