Bessa R3A finder vs M3

[alegalle]

Hi all, I am thinking about buying an R3a or a R2a, I have a M3. I am wondering if anyone else has used both cameras and could tell me how easy it is to see the 50mm framelines with glasses on? On my M3 I can't see the 50 lines at all with my glasses on, but only just, they are just out of view and I can see them if I move my eye around a bit. If I could see the 50 lines on the R3a with my glasses then I would deffinatly get one over the R2a.
Thanks!

Hmmm, I have no problems seeing the 50mm framelines with my glasses on in either my M3 or the R3a I owned. The R3a, being new had a slightly brighter viewfinder, but focusing on the M3 is amazing.

50mm is not hard to see with glasses. Forget the 40mm though.

I send what rich says. 50mm is easy to see on the R3A, but I can barely see the 40's even though I don't wear glasses (I have a big nose, though).

That said, it's a great body, and the wider rangefinder base (b/c of the 1:1 finder) vs. the R2A makes for more accurate focusing particuarly with longer or faster lenses.
