IIIg finder

Recommended Posts

I just got a IIIg and noticed the finder isn't as bright or crisp as the M3 finder. I would

say it is as dark as the M2 finder but with a slight yellow tint. But what is troubling is

that it looks slightly blurry, unlike the M3 finder which is clear and crisp like looking

through air. Can anyone with a IIIg please tell me if this is normal? Thanks.

The yellowing doesn't bother me too much unless it gets worse. What is annoying is

that the finder isn't sharp and it isn't eye brow grease. The best way to describe it is

that it looks like it could use a minus 2 diopter. Looking throug it long gives me a

headache.

IMHO the rangefinder/viewfinder on the IIIg was never as bright as the M3. However mine is clear with no yellowing or blurring so your IIIg is probably due for a CLA. Remember the IIIg series is now over 40 years in age. Nice camera if you are using a 50mm but not so good for wide angles or anything over a 90mm unless you have a set of bright line finders for your wide angles and over 90mm lenses.
