pico Posted August 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2014 Minor thing. Normally when looking at the front viewfinder window there is a semi-transparent reflective band at the top and another at the bottom. I don't see them on yours. My two M7 bodies,have them plus the magnification factor marked on each (58 and .72). No big deal. Just sorting thing out. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted August 23, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 23, 2014 The M7 is the best of the best. I worked with Leicas from the M3 to the M9, but the M7 rules absolutely. I use two. The M7 tells us, by evidence that film has its place in classic photography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDeVa Posted October 4, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2014 Congrats for your M7..... I also just bought one black from 2002 and started shooting again film after so many years.....

stephen.w Posted October 6, 2014 Share #16 Posted October 6, 2014 I would like one more M7 with a .85 finder. Right now I have .58 and .72Why don't you get a viewfinder magnifier - either 1.25x (for the 0.72 finder) or 1.4x (for the 0.58)? Cheaper than an additional body and lighter to carry around.
