Yes, but its a nice, bright viewfinder, a clean patch (on mine), I can make
a rangerfinder adjustment (vertical alignment) through a little inspection
port myself and the shutter speed is displayed in the viewfinder. Plus my
mint CL cost about a third of what a mint M3 would cost! I'll have to be
more careful with the 90mm than with the 40mm but, OK!
