I'm bumping this post because I'm hoping someone who has a Leica II or III-series camera AND a knob-wind Canon can tell me whether (A) the Canon has a diopter adjustment -- I know they have the variable three-position viewfinder, but that's a different issue, and (B) if it does not have a diopter adjustment as do the Leicas, can it still be focused by those of us with aging eyes.
Reason being I don't want to buy a knob-wind Canon if I can bring the rangefinder spot into focus like I can with my Leica IIIa.
Canon V, VI, P and 7-series use a different viewfinder construction where I find I don't really need a diopter control -- I've got an L-1, P and 7s, so am familiar with their viewfinders.
