It has a real neat gadget that goes between the camera and the tripod that lifts the camera the distance between the lenses. Therefore what you saw in the finder is exactly what you shoot. Not much good without being on a pod, but most times that's the situation anyway. Plus, it's got a moving indicator of the top of the frame which works fine without the pod for parallax.
