In a manor of speaking, but based on the optics what you'll see will be
the center 2/3 of the frame you'd normally see, and if you compare it to
the view through say an LX, it will 2/3 the size you'd be used to. Now
I don't remember which film cameras you were using, if you mentioned it,
but if it was the a ME, MX or LX the view will be quite tunnel like. On
the other hand if it were a MZ/ZX series camera it won't suffer so much
by comparison. The other Pentax cameras will fall somewhere in between.

Actually, that was on the "Prayer Service at St. Michaels" thread, but since my
decision to go with a *ist DS I've been communicating with the list through that thread,
I changed the subject heading.
Do I understand correctly that when using lenses designed for the 35mm frame
the field of view through the viewfinder, and not just in the recorded image,
will be 1.5 times what it would be on a film camera?
Thanks,
