No I'm talking about where the viewfinder and rangefinder windows are
located on the /back/ of the camera. They are separate and IIRC not all
that easy to shift ones view from rangefinder to viewfinder. Quick
focus and compose in my memory problematic. I find it a lot easier to
shift from the focus window to viewfinder window on the Kodak Medalist,
who's ergonomics could best be described as; "Ergonomics, what's that?"
I'm talking about the IIIc not the much better M3.
Leica IIIcs also not particularly rare. I think they were one of the
most produced Leicas, when I was looking into getting the shutter
repaired, it was actually less expensive to get a copy with a working
shutter than get the jammed shutter fixed. Probably still is since I
checked prices and they often sell for well less than $500 US on ebay,
usually, unless they're in extremely nice condition, less than $300.

Are you talking just about aesthetics? The further apart the windows are, the
smaller the effect on accuracy at longer distances and from slop in linkages.
I don't know if there is an inverse effect on accuracy at shorter distances.
