Every Leica R body I've had (R4SP, R5, RE, R6, R7) has had what I would
call a greenish tint in the viewfinder. Various people at various times
have denied such a phenomenon, but it's there. The R4sp was so bad I
returned it- the others were better. An overhaul including cleaning seemed
to improve it on the R5. The R6 and R7 are okay- its a very slight cast and
doesn't bother me.
