The excellent viewfinder is one of the strong features of the M7II . It is big, bright and contrasty. Users of the correction diopter lenses will discover the enhanced contrast of the viewfinder due to the polarizing effect. They're bright and convenient. The 150mm lens has an optional auxiliary finder.
All finders have unobtrusive panoramic frame markings.
The focusing is accomplished by superimposing a double image in the center of the viewfinder. Parallax compensation is automatic. The camera uses a simple SPD cell located in the rangefinder window. It has a center-weighted pattern and its angle of view is automatically adjusted to the focal length of the mounted lens. Despite its simplicity the meter is surprisingly accurate under most circumstances.
