As an eyeglass wearer, I found it difficult to see the full 50mm frame in the M3 finder. I traded the M3 in on an M6HM and I love it. The 50mm framelines are easy for me to see and in a pinch I can use a 35. It just means I have to look around a bit to see everything. I don't know how common my "problem" is maybe it is made worse because I am left eyed.
