I used to think M3 has the best viewfinder and maximal focusing accuracy compared to other Ms. At least in terms of numbers it has the maximal relative rangefinder base.
I got a x1.15 magnifier from Japan, screw it on my 0.85 MP and M3 with 0.85 M6J viewfinder. This new magnifiers improve the 0.85 viewfinder a lot. Now, it seemed to me that the more modern 0.85 viewfinders are better than M3 viewfinder. No matter how perfect the M3 you have, the viewfinder is slightly duller than the more modern ones. M3 also tends to have dimmer primary and secondary images in the focusing bracket. The minimal focusing distance is shorter as well.
My conclusion is the newer 0.85 viewfinders in MP or M6J are superior to M3's when you are using it with the x1.15 viewfinder.
My next question is how bright is the viewfinder of the new Ikon camera compared to the 0.85 viewfinder ?
