Hello all, I have an EOS A2 and am very happy with it. But the one thing I just can't seem to get the hang of even after a couple years of trying is compensating, or trying to, for the less than 100% viewfinder image. I never seem to either get in close enough or I over compensate and cut something out.
Recently I had to take some technical photographs for work which I needed to fill the frame as much as I could with the subject and part of a scale to produce different sizes later. I filled the frame OVER what I saw in the viewfinder to where I thought I would be where I needed to be with the developed image ( used a EF 50mm f/1.4 & a 36mm Kenko extension tube if your wondering). Once the film was developed I saw that I could have filled the frame more. While the photos were still adequate for what I needed I got thinking about the viewfinder problem again. So with that in mind, I still have the original viewfinder in the camera. My question is: Would one of the other viewfinders, Grid or Cross hair, available for the camera compensate to any degree for this or would I just be adding a new finder that would help me compose the subject better? Thanks in advance for the help Tom * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
