Hi Bill,
I was also in my early 20s when I bought my first Leica, a III that had
been factory-modified to become a IIIa. My eyes had no problem with the
RF/VF design until about 10 years later, and it served me well. But,
once I started wearing glasses, it was becoming a problem.

As a former owner of a IIIg, the vf isn't small, it's microscopic. I owned it
in my twenties, and I felt like using an electron microscope to view would have
been inadequate.

Still one of the most recognizable cameras ever produced, the Leica IIIf
was a great tool for producing memorable images on film. But, it
required sharp eyes to deal with the small viewfinder and rangefinder
windows. As I got older, I turned to more eye-friendly designs. It
sits on the shelf, looking over my shoulder as I work with Lightroom and
Photoshop.
