Hi All,
I have a Canon 7, and a P. Both in beautiful condition, recently CLA'd Viewfinders/rangefinders in as good as condition as possible. While the multiple framelines of the P can be cluttered, it does not bother me. The view finder of the 7 is crystal clear and the rangefinder patch is excellent. I have a collection of russian m39 lenses that mount and work perfectly for my uses.
All that being said, is the viewfinder on any of the Leica M's (2-3-4) that much better than the 7 to warrant purchasing an M solely on that reason? I do realize the rest of the differences and advantages of each camera, and useability of M39 lens via adapters etc.
The limited scope of brick and mortar stores limit the availability of used camera stock to properly locate and "fondle" a Leica M..
Thanks for your thoughts!
