Re: M3 vs M2 0.91x vs 0.77x
Dear Friends, anyway, the real magnification of the M2 rangefinder is 0.77x. If you look inside of viewfinder of the M2, the 35 framelines are to the extreme of viewing, you get a large area inside of 35 framelines. In the M4-P and M6 (0.72x), the 35 framelines are more distant from the max limit of viewing (better viewing for spectacles) you get a narrow area inside of 35 framelines, infact the extreme framelines is 28 (like, nearly 35 in the M2). M2-R have the same bright viewfinder of the M4 (no rectangle mask to the ocular) but the framelines are like the conventional M2 framelines system.
Summary: M3 ------> 0.91x
M2 ------> 0.77x
M4 ------> 0.77x
M4-2 ---> 0.77x
M5 ------> 0.77x
M4-P ---> 0.72x
M6 ------> 0.72x
M6J -----> 0.85x
M7 -------> 0.72x (0.58x ; 0.85x)
MP -------> 0.72x (0.58x ; 0.85x)
Best regards to all of you
