Have you ever looked through the vf of a IIIg?   Just beautiful.    
And the rf is far more precise and accurate than my M4's rf.   I've  
got a 9cm Elmar and that works well with the IIIg because it has the  
corners for the 9 cm field in the viewfinder.   And the 9cm corners  
and the 5cm framelines are parallax corrected, moving up and down as  
you focus.
