Early Canonet Aperture Scale

[hks3sgte]

Hello everyone! I just bought an early Canonet that looks to be in great shape. Shutter speeds seem to work etc. etc.

According to the manual, there is supposed to be an aperture scale at the bottom of the viewfinder. When I look through my viewfinder, I cannot see the scale. All I see is the focusing "square" and the frame lines.

Is there something wrong with my camera? Or is mine a version without the scale? Any help is appreciated.

On Konica Auto S aperture projection in VF depends from angle how eye looks into and ambient light. I doubt scale is gone physically.

Ok, Here's my view... and it stays the same regardless of angle, btgc
