Hi folks. I'm looking at buying a iiif as my first Leica, but it doesn't matter how much I google I can't seam to see an indication on how big the eyepieces are and only one or two blurred pics looking through the rangefinder bit. I wear glasses sp don't know if anything really small would be any good, and I've never handled one, only an M years ago in the late 90's at a Focus show on Birmingham. I've also been looking at Canon IVsb's as well (with the option of using Leica LTM lenses) as they show 1.1 with built in magnification for other lenses. Even looked into Canon P for the bigger viewfinder and LTM mount, but they are mostly in Japan at a decent price. The thought of owning a Leica keeps bringing me back to the iiif though (iiig is too expensive for me at the min). I love the compact nature of my Fuji X-Pro2 but it isn't a proper rangefinder, and I've gone off my Nikon D3s as its too heavy to cart around so I'll probably end up selling it before the prices plummet any more (which will bring me into M territory). Can anyone take a few pics of a iiif viewfinder next to a penny or similar to give me an idea of size, and maybe a few pics from a camera phone showing the rangefinder split screen and viewfinder please.

hey, last week when I was dropping off some film to be developed, I saw an old leica that the lab was selling (the lab is also a camera store), from my little knowledge of leicas and after researching a bit when got home, I deducted that it was either a III or a IIIa, and it was being sold fitted with a collapsable 5cm f/2.0 Hektor for the equivalent of around US$390. if I remember correctly, the serial number of the camera started with 17, so I think it's one of the first produced. So, my question is: do you think that is a fair price for the III(a) with the 50mm f/2, considering that the body looked mint and the lens looked nice, though I didn't analyze it much. Also, do you think that is a usable setup? I would definitely need a meter, since I can't figure out an exposure just by looking at the scene, so how much is one of those leicameters and are they hard to find? I would also like ask if you think I should wait until the end of the year and then get a used M6 or MP (if I'm lucky) then?
