1:1 viewfinders?

[ludoo]

My Vitomatics have spoiled me: I've found out that I love shooting with a 1:1 viewfinder. Apart from a few Voigtlanders, which fixed lens RFs have a 1:1 viewfinder?

I know that the Nikon S2 has a 1:1 VF and I believe the Canon 7s does also.

The Canon P is interchangeable lens, Canon 7 is 0.8x finder. The Nikons are interchangeable lenses.

The Kodak Signet 80 has a 1:1 lifesize coupled rangefinder, but is also interchangeable lens. But the price for them is about the same as most Fixed-Lens RF's, mine was $20.

I think the Konica IIIM (?) is a true foxed-lens RF with 1x finder.

I'd love a Nikon S2 I don't think I'll have the budget for it soon, thus my request for fixed lens rangefinders.

Brian, I knew about the Konica III (M?) and it's definitely on my shopping list, but they're not so common and tend to fetch relatively high prices. The Signet 80 looks interesting though.

There's also the Agfa Optima 1535 which might have a 1:1 viewfinder (and I love Agfas), but they are pretty rare too.

The Topcon 35L and its variants have a 1:1 viewfinder, I believe.

I don't know if they're 1:1 but I remember the Yashica Electro 35 and Lynx 14/5000 series as having large, clear finders.

(Hard to beat the Konica IIIA, though)

Konica IIIA and IIIM both have a 1:1 viewfinder. They share the superb Konishiroku Hexanon 50mm f/1.8 fixed lens.
Some IIIA have the Hexanon 48mm f/2 lens.
