The M7 had a production change where they fixed that by using the MP optics. Some M7s had it retrofitted (and all sellers claim that!). These M7s are also the one that had the flaky DX reader. After about 290-300XXX serial #s all M7s had the good stuff.
Correct - Mine is in the good range starting 294XXXX from 2003. But it still has sometimes the patch flare issue. I don't think it has the MP finder yet.
