The square box position inside the finder is strange

The square box position inside the viewfiner is range

It seems to have moved slightly to the right and you can see the space in the marked area.

Sorry, what is your concern, I don't understand the point?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I can see what you mean. It looks like the black mask in the ocular not being perfectly centered. Mine seems to be ever so slightly off in the opposite direction than yours and also somewhat off vertically. I don't think it has any effect on viewfinder FOV or rangefinder precision.

What 'space' do you see? I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to show me, are you saying this is what you see through the viewfinder, or what you see when the window itself is photographed? Is the problem, whatever it is, when you photograph the viewfinder window, or when you look through the viewfinder?

I understand you are referring to the mask just inside the eyepiece, is that correct?  It does appear to be slightly off center, but unless is continues to move and becomes an annoyance I don't think it will make any difference.  I had not ever thought about this particular issue until you mentioned it, but mine seems off a tad in the opposite direction and I had never noticed.

With a 28 mm lens mounted can you still see all the frame lines?  If so, I suspect I'd just ignore it.

Unless you're comfortable pulling the top off, which I'm told is not really that big a job.  Then I assume you could move it back.

If you are referring to the rangefinder patch that's different.

The grain on your leatherette covering looks most irregular. Have you asked Leica about it?

There is space on the left side of the viewfinder.
However, there is no space in the right viewfinder.

That's a protective film.

I just looked at my M10 and i see the same slight space on the left side of on mine too. I suspect this is normal.

방금 M10을 보았는데 왼쪽에 동일한 공간이 있습니다. 나는 이것이 정상이라고 생각합니다.

I called Service Center Lieca

I was answered that it was no problem.

thank you!

Please correct me if I am wrong.    Is this is a factory standard/unmodified M10 body?? .It doesn't look right.  Not Leica manufacturing.     Has Someone modified the top plate around the eyepiece and left edge of the body and not reassembled everything correctly.   It has a film of non-smooth plastic added on the top plate. Is this normal on a black body????    You can see where it ends halfway across the eyepiece .   I only have a silver M10 (which doesn't have this)  so I may be wrong.

Very interesting.

The OP needs to know the history of this M10.

Yes indeed, looks like a homemade additional strap protector, or did an early owner try hide some damages?

This is the film I put on. There is no protective film attached to the right.

I called the service center and it wasn't.

I put on a protective film and quit.
