Agent M10 Posted May 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am interested to know anyone's experience with an upgraded viewfinder for the M7 or M6 coupled with a magnifier. I've had my M6 upgraded and like the contrast. I was thinking of upgrading the M7 too, but wanted to know how it worked with a magnifier. Thanks.

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted May 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 3, 2008 Shoud be the same ! Or VERY similar. There ought to be no difference. Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted May 4, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2008 I have an upgraded VF in one of my M7s and have used the 1.25x magnifier on it. No difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted May 8, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2008 I'm curious, I thought that the M7 had the most recent viewfinder already. Was that only later models? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted May 8, 2008 Share #5 Posted May 8, 2008 Yes, later production. Any M7 you buy new now has the MP finder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted May 8, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 8, 2008 Any idea when that started? Mine is one of the betriebsk models that they put out, I think after the MP was already released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted May 15, 2008 Share #7 Posted May 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry for dropping the thread - I'm on vacation in Berlin. When it started is hazy at best. There are serial nrs. quoted but you can't trust them. I have an M7 that is 3 years old and it has the MP finder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpattinson Posted May 16, 2008 Share #8 Posted May 16, 2008 One thing I can say for sure - dust gets inside the eyepiece on my M7 like it was a vacuum cleaner. I've had it cleaned out once in Melbourne, but for whatever reason it just keeps on getting in there. I'll take a look around to see if I can find out which serial no's have the new finder. David.

dpattinson Posted May 17, 2008 Share #10 Posted May 17, 2008 2886xxx I checked up - the betriebsk models were made in 2004, so apparently they have the MP finder. Next time I'm around a MP I'll compare flare just to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
usefeet Posted May 17, 2008 Share #11 Posted May 17, 2008 I bought my M7 more than 6 years ago. A year later I bought the MP and noticed the improved VF. I had my M7's VF upgraded, with the bonus of better dust sealing. It was worth it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
