Looking for viewfinder images

I've been toying with the ideal of picking up a compact rangefinder for several weeks but I can't seem to find all the info I would like before making a final decision. I thought I'd post here as a new member for some help. The ones I'm interested in are: 1. Konica Auto S3 2. Olympus 35 RC, RD and DC 3. Canonet G-III QL17 or QL19 The main thing I'm having trouble with is finding images of the viewfinders of some of these cameras. I've found images of the Canonet G-III QL17 and the Olympus 35 RC, but none of the others. The viewfinder info is important to me, especially the aperature, and I'd like to see how the information is displayed in the finder. If anyone has some links, or has taken the time to photo different viewfinders, please help an old man to "see the way more clearly". Thanks... Connor

Here is a very helpful resource:
http://www.butkus.org/chinon/
There you will find user manuals for most (maybe all?) of the cameras you mention. Those should have pictures or drawings of the VF and what info is in them.
God luck,
Rob

Thanks Rob. That site had a few that I needed but I'm still looking for the others. He had other links but they were not of any help either. I hadn't thought of just searching manuals for the info. I'll google them and see if I can find more. Thanks again... connor
