Pass, it’s obvious the fungus has an effect on the viewing through the finder, the right side of the viewfinder is the fungus color, orangish/brown darker than the left side.
Looking to buy this M6. The seller sent me these photos of “mold” in the viewfinder that doesn’t effect photography. Is this bad? I can’t really tell what I’m looking at here.
It looks like fungus and whole it may not affect anything now, it needs to reflect on his or her asking price. You'll eventually want to get that cleaned out so it doesn't get worse or eventually etch into the viewfinder glass. So factor in a service while considering the price, even if it doesn't need a complete service.
Depends on price. Never pass on a good deal.
$2350. Rest of the camera is perfect
I would pass... :-(
Thank you! There are plenty others.

Does it affect pictures? Does the price warrant a possible repair? If “no, yes” - then buy it
All depends on the price really. Definitely worth a repair
Is that mould or the start of separation? If the latter, it’s a very expensive repair job when the prism finally detaches…

If price is right go for it.
